Clinging to the Top, Old Snapshot Photo of Tower Climber rank badge 1900-1915 I believe

1900-1915 I believe

all of which I believe are original

I love the sculptural quality of this vintage pair of salt and pepper shakers--as  abstract forms

which I thought might be used as a letter opener

I've found a few other carved antler mushrooms

Clinging to the Top, Old Snapshot Photo of Tower Climber rank badge 1900-1915 I believeI love the way the man at the top of this rather make shift feeling tower clings to its post and gazing upward as if his climbing was not done for the sake of conquering the tower, but rather for the sake of getting closer to the heavens! Nice, too, that the tower topper extends beyond the top edge of the frame. 4 1 4" x 3 1 4" and in good condition, clearly removed from an album, with residue on the reverse.
