Beautifully crafted in the 1960s

There is a gold foiled "Made in Switzerland" sticker on the back of the box with the printed number 6349

and it really looks like just about the perfect back-to-school apple to leave as a gift on the teacher's desk

some remnants of which remain here and there

The stoneware form itself is loaded with texture and irregularities

Double Sided Wooden Cutout Head with Long Nose and Fancy Button Eye vintage fashion illustration Beautifully crafted in the 1960sI'd guess this guy was based on a comics character maybe Jeff of Mutt and Jeff? but I like him just on his own terms now as a man fittingly looking rather worried about things. (Another one good for hanging in all sorts of contexts, board room to bathroom to election hallI) Nicely graphic in red, black and white paint, and I especially like the fancy blue button used for his eye on each side and those pencil drawn ears. 9 1 2" t x 7 5 8" w x 3 4"
