Sweet Old Carved Shovel Whimsy 1905 Michael Flanagan and had been

Michael Flanagan and had been appraised by Antiques Roadshow during a visit to Wichita

as well as because I purchased it from a dealer in Dusseldorf

I have to think God bless the child whose sock this was

with what looks like a  swath of matching fabric draped over the side of whatever it is she is resting her hand upon

Sweet Old Carved Shovel Whimsy 1905 Michael Flanagan and had beenFound (in Maine) separately from the pair of whittled chains I've just listed, but feeling very much akin. It's almost gardening season, so a good one to gift to one's favorite farmer, or else to wear around one's neck for good luck growing! Of course all sorts of metaphorical implications for a shovel (and the act of digging) too. A sweet one, with nice age to it. 5 1 4 l x 1 1 8 w (at link), very good condition.
