Quite a finely done watercolor

with some foxing to the upper right corner especially

This old handmade box makes me very happy

The style and the amount of gilding lost make me think it is pretty old

Handsome Sailor, c. 1920s Real Photo Postcard of Navy Man vintage folk art sculpture Quite a finely done watercolorI just like the looks of this sailor, standing proud in his uniform as if measuring his girth against the trunk of this large tree. And something about the look on his face makes me think was his sweetheart who took the picture, perhaps just before saying bon voyage! 5 7 16" x 3 1 2 and in very good condition, unused back. C. 1920s I believe.
