This delightful assembly exudes charm through and through. Those each element on its own is charming, yet typical, what spoke to me was the combination of the dog-patterned case (and I do love the browh thermoplastic cases!), the portrait of the boy on the right and presumably a group portrait on the left which includes him. Extra bonus: two locks of blonde hair! Was this a memorial or mourning assemblage after the young boy passed away? Or perhaps a mother\'s keepsake? Though we may never know the full story, it\'s a great piece.
Please contact me with questions or to request additional photos, which I am happy to provide. Be sure to view all photos and to use the zoom feature as they are an integral part of my description. I am selling these items as a private individual - downsizing to reduce clutter and to make things easy for my family when I pass -- I am not a dealer and therefore do not take returns unless I have made a serious error in representing the item for sale. Please do contact me if something is amiss and I will make it right. Thank you for understanding.
Priority shipping in the Continental US. I am sorry, but I do not ship outside the US. It usually takes just a day or two for me to ship your items, but I have set the listing for 5 days just in case something causes a delay. Shipping always includes insurance. I also am a very good packer. You will not receive random chunks of (flaking) styrofoam, packing peanuts, or wads of old grocery bags from me. I use clean bubble wrap and occasionally kraft paper. Last, yes, I am happy to combine shipping when possible. If you let me know you wish to combine, I will change the listing to free shipping and include it with another item. If you are concerned another buyer will snap up the piece if you wait to hear from me -- no worries! -- I will refund the redundant shipping payment. We\'ll work it out. Thank you for your interest!
