Bob's Fantastic Old Shoe Shine Box seal sculpture with a bit of tearing

with a bit of tearing to the netting at the far right edge

or are all different

Great condition with a beautiful patina

a great drawing of a memorable character

puffing on a very long pipe with trail of smoke behind

Bob's Fantastic Old Shoe Shine Box seal sculpture with a bit of tearingEvery inch of this old shoeshine box makes me happy, from the wonderfully primitive shoe form at top, to the combination of old red and green paint, to the fat old nails everywhere but most of all it is the "Shine" carved across the front and the many "BoB"s carved everywhere else! This was, most definitely, Bob's box, and one has to think he was quite proud of it. Really a terrific folk art object I think, which could also provide handy storage,
