Two Armed Semaphore, With Tank, Old Snapshot Photo watercolor tins with great graphics Likely made by a sailor

Likely made by a sailor aboard a ship

with the canister made from a shell casing and the little chopping man cut from from some scrap

not at all delicate

and I might guess that living in Maine he had a particular affection for the bluebird

Two Armed Semaphore, With Tank, Old Snapshot Photo watercolor tins with great graphics Likely made by a sailorI love all things signal flags and semaphore, and love how perfectly erect this man stands, with arms perfectly square to the sides. Feels as if he's protecting those big tanks behind him and indeed, in semaphore, arms straight to the sides signals STOP. 4" x 2 5 8". Good condition, with a few smudges and black paper residue on reverse.
