Fabulous Orange and Black Painted Handmade Soap Box Car jointed horse sculpture Lifting the "all seeing eye"

Lifting the "all seeing eye" ribbon shows the fading of the color

and which only adds to the piece

but it might shine up a bit)

maybe 1930s or 40s

I really love the manner in which this woman's face was painted

Fabulous Orange and Black Painted Handmade Soap Box Car jointed horse sculpture Lifting the "all seeing eye"I'm not sure if this car and another by the same maker listed separately was made as a model for a full scale soap box derby race car, or just as its own thing, but I sure love it. (And I personally am more than happy to leave the driving to a non human, who can't get too hurt!) The front axle turns a full 360 degrees, and it rolls along great, so it would certainly make a wonderful toy for the kids, but really it's a pretty fabulous folk art piece
