Some creations we see like a basket of clothes / Carried jauntily perched on the head / And one that will cover the tip of the nose / is "the hat of the season" tis said

Folk Art Sailor (with an Elvis attitude) Doorstop 1910 tobacco silk Some creations we see likeJust a fun, and funny one, with an Elvis stance and attitude, and looking rather as if about to pull a pistol out of his pocket! What a character, definitely looking ready to stop some doors! 10" tall x 4 3 8" w x 6 1 4" and in very good condition, 1940s or so I believe.
