Next is an extraordinary collection of hand carved, jointed and movable figures which at one time made up a motorized logging scene. The mechanism is no longer, but the figures remain. This grouping includes individual people, all with very distinct looks; a pair of wood sawyers, and a man on a wood wagon (with the mechanism underneath).
All the people were hand carved and painted. Some of the heads turn, and one has a lower jaw which opens and closes. All the clothing is original, and includes leather boots, hand knit hats and scarves, shirts, coats, and pants. Most of the arms and legs were made out of copper tubing which was then flattened and formed with great detail, including fingers. The bodies and heads are wood.
This very folky grouping is now mounted on individual two tiered bases. The figures came from Northern New Hampshire or Maine. While there is some wear, and loss to the clothing, they are in generally very good to excellent condition. They were probably made around 1910, give or take a few years. Following is a listing of the pieces, their actual size, the size of the bases, and the price. They are priced both individually and as a collection. For purchase of several, please contact us for a quote. Inventory Code: ATTR.
