Frank Marshall carved this
fellow on Dec 1, 1945 according to the info inside the head. It was
carved for a George Botzel from Iowa. Also inside it says repaired
and repainted by Frank Marshall in 1953. This guy is wonderful
because to me he really resembles Jimmy Nelson's Danny O'Day
especially when his mouth is open.
He has unusual configuration of movements
because he has slot jaw and winkers/blinkers but no moving eyes.
This was special order for sure. |
