Super cool vintage painted wooden cutout with great subject and significant size. No context for how it came to be, but a really fun thing. Great look, good form, nice color, structurally solid and straight. Just a really cool piece and not something you will soon find again. Please use photos and zoom feature for most accurate condition. Measures about 38″ by 42″. Please get them approved before purchasing. Any questions must be answered before the sale. Almost everything I offer is old and has likely spent time in a basement or garage. I do my best to get back to everyone in a timely fashion. If you don’t hear a response within 48 hours please ask question again! Also, make sure to check my other listings for more great vintage finds- I will certainly do my best to work with you if you are purchasing multiple items. I love bringing the old and unique back to market & I’m constantly adding inventory so please check back often. You never know what I’ll find next!

MASSIVE CARVED WOOD FISH FLY FISHING LODGE CABIN TROUT SALMON SCULPTURE FOLK ART. YouTube video of the fish to show the scale. THICK and MASSIVE and HEAVY!! THIS IS A WORLD RECORD CATCH!! This is an enormous one of a kind custom crafted solid wood carved fish. Most likely this was carved in the late 1960’s or early 1970’s and is made of thick heavy plank wood possibly reclaimed from an old schooner. The piece was acquired from a wealthy estate overlooking the Mystic River in CT. The fish resembles a salmon or a rainbow trout. AMAZING one of a kind showpiece, it could be the focal point of your home, restaurant, or business. It is extremely heavy and has heavy duty ropes strung through to hang from a ceiling. I would estimate this piece weighs around 250 pounds. The fish will need a few touch ups here and there. It would make an excellent addition to any collection. Please contact me about any questions regarding relocating the fish. Please see photos for item condition and description.

I do not know how old the barber pole is. I do not know if it would be considered antique, vintage or a reproduction of some kind. The barber pole measures approximately 22 inches in height. The diameter of the base is about 3 ¾ inches. As pictured, the barber pole have a primitive appearance and shows extreme surface wear including cracks, chips, scratches, stains, discoloration, paint loss, paint blemishes and other scattered imperfections. Please note it is impossible to list each and every blemish so kindly view the pictures carefully.

Circa 1920s, hand made Open Closed folk art store sign. Not including hooks, it measures.. 12 1/4 inches across 9 1/4″ inches top to bottom 1 1/4″ inches thick Due to its ageing I have not taken it apart to clean inside but I’m thinking the inside filler that separates the two sides, sounds like the filling in an old car seat, I’m very curious. The face of each side is a thick plexiglass so i know the signs could be replaced with new, if you choose to do so. It’s fairly heavy, maybe 10 lbs. View the photos, feel free to ask questions.
