I have an unpainted Wooden Clog that is decorative (not meant to be worn) with metal pieces and a long wooden piece coming out the top that has a small wooden hammer and horseshoe-like piece attached. Has "Made in France" carved on bottom. I just want to know what this is more so than a value. Here are some pics;
This item is .5 inches tall and 1 & 1/8 inces in diameter. I am not sure if it is silver or not, I don't think so. Th only writing on it is on the bottom on the inner most ring that says PAT PEND. It has a red vinyl ribbon around the bas and under the decoration on toip with a strip on the ring. it opens up and looks like a stamp maybe?
I have what I think is an original pastel circa 1900 - 1920. The woman is blond and has a halo around her head. The two children are cherub-like and also blond. The woman is wearing a red cloak. The child in her arms on left side has a halo as well and is an infant with white blond hair. the child at her knee on her right side has no halo and his or her hair is darker and curly. the background is a country scene - rather sparse. Low hills and rocks, perhaps a river.
This belonged to my grandmother and I'm guessing at the age because most of the artwork she had was around 1900's to 1920's.
The signature is E~S with no other markings.
I'd appreciate any information you could give me regarding this painting/pastel.
large canvas covered trunk 32 wide 20 height 18 1/2 front to back. 2 sets of slats all the way around body and 4 slats across the top of lid. 2 leather straps with buckels 2 "clasp?" locks and a key lock has small wheels on the bottom and both carrying handles. the slats on it look to be oak but not positive, all metal hardware seems to be in really good shape other then rusty brown coler. im thinking of having it restored if worth doing so. i have been researching for days now and can not find this exact trunk or any info at all on it. i do have pictures
