Beautiful Old Frog or Fish Gig with Sculptural Make Do Driftwood Handle little wooden owl It still has some polish

It still has some polish inside of it I believe

There is a small stain to the back page of the booklet and light wear to the edges of the box

Loss and darkening to the paint as evident

Beautiful Old Frog or Fish Gig with Sculptural Make Do Driftwood Handle little wooden owl It still has some polishReally a beautiful and special feeling make do thing, which I believe would have been used for hunting (impaling) frogs.

To my eye and sensibilities, a perfect object born of necessity, resourcefully constructed, and about as poetic as it gets. Found in the Midwest. 15 5 8" l x 3 1 8" w and in
