U.S.S WREN

Vintage WW2 hand made ring from a creative bugger on the USS Wren, pounded and engraved from a silver half dollar (the date 1944, and the word DOLLAR are visible on the inside of the ring)-I love the freeballed font and pitted engraving style of the letters, the crafting- uniformity of the form and wall thickness is also impressive for an off duty project...found at the PCC yesterday.

Hitchhiker

Best Buy Guy ever at LBC flea today-previous guys here and here.

:Jo

>:<-)

Happy/Evil Guy. Carved painted wooden figure, with nails used for eyes and cobblers nail to secure leather belt, traces of a perished mohawk (horse hair). I got this from a vendor who thought it to be of Native American (plains) origin-dolls like this were used by medicine men in rituals. It's so crazy and rudimentary in its pose/balance, with the perfect amount of detail to give it some life, it could be native, pacific, or even a folk art figure, either way its got teeth.

"Could you leave me some cash if you're coming back for it, just so I know- it's just that things happen...now that you've picked it up you've transferred your energy onto it, now other people are gonna be drawn to it, that's what always happens" :-0
