1920s Greenich Village Nude Letter Opener antique religious A few loose threads here

A few loose threads here and there and a few upholstery tacks lost

starting a family and working odd jobs as a mechanic and hotel cook before embarking on a second far-flung career as a merchant mariner

1920s Greenich Village Nude Letter Opener antique religious A few loose threads hereMaybe just a little thing, but I love the thought that this was made in Greenwich Village in the 1920s, as signed on reverse transporting one, at least in one's imagination, to a very different time in the life a once very bohemian place, of which the loosely hand drawn nude on the front feel like an apt and spirited embodiment. I really like this. 10 1 4" l x 1 1 4" w, good condition, great patina.
