[QUOTE="snewman, post: 1398614, member: 31036"]Picked this up at an antique shop that was going out of business. It is about 2 feet tall and 4 feet wide. I'm guessing someone carved it out of wood, and back in the early 70s, some company made a mold of it and cast a few out of some sort of resin that keeps the woodcarving look. Took a closeup of the Lincoln to show the detail. Very pleased with it as a decoration -- especially if I ever open up a B&M. Ever seen one before? Has a bronze label on the back saying "Venture Studios 1973" but I wasn't able to find much about it on the internet. [ATTACH]167983.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]167984.vB[/ATTACH] Thoughts? Kind of makes me want to try a real carving some day... :) Thanks, -snewman[/QUOTE]
