with door and window behind

This wonderful little solid brass duck lives most happily on a desk

3” in diameter x 1” tall

both in and of itself as a stunning photograph

It seems likely that this haunting work is a Holocaust portrayal

Mary Baker's Cows and Ducks, Crayon Drawing, 1917 chips canister with door and window behindThis is one of several crayon drawings done by a Mary Baker, a couple of them signed, and one dated 1917, surely done when miss Mary was in grade school. I think this cow couple is pretty special, looking like he's about to nuzzle her ears, and then this great fence around them and two great brown ducks marching along below. Not quite sure what the yellow form is at left, maybe a feeder? 8 1 4" x 5 15 16" and in very good condition.
