Spinning Orange and White Carnival Wheel of Chance, A-Z Plus 1-6 Lincoln the year of its making

the year of its making I believe

What I love most about this vintage mid-century porcelain tiger is the relationship between its body and its face: its body is long and sleek

This is a sweet little Northeast Coast Native American handwoven sweetgrass and splint ash basket made to hold a small pair of sewing scissors

I believe it dates to the 1930s

they are in very good condition

Spinning Orange and White Carnival Wheel of Chance, A-Z Plus 1-6 Lincoln the year of its makingThere is something so satisfying about spinning a game wheel like this, with the flap at top catching the nails around the perimeter as it goes, making the most satisfying sound. This homemade iteration with hardware store gold on black stickers on white painted wheel bolted to orange standis not especially refined, but I like that it feels as if made with expediency for a relatively humble carnival or local fair, Id guess maybe in the 1970s or so.
