Having carved half-sails, and sailing on a foamy sea, is this diorama-like replica of the sailing ship "Marion Sprague". Written in pencil on the reverse is the inscription, "Marion W. Sprague built in Boston 1889, 748 ton" and then signed, "George A. Alden, 1941". The piece measures 12 1/2" long, 9" high, and 3 1/2" deep. In good, as found condition with a fine folk art, home-made flavor.

This tiny burl snuff box (to find the hidden opening door, turn the dog over and, voila, there it is!)measures only 2 1/4" x 1 1/4" and is a tiny bit over 1/2" high. He has plaintive, hound-dog eyes, and a nice long tail, but the breed identification will have to be left up to your imagination. The lid opens--hinge is sound--and all is in good shape. A charming find!
