Antique Architectural Ball in Cage Whimsy vintage handmade postcard all of carsAnother lovely old whimsy as I can't resist these either. All carved from one piece of woo, this one has a great architectural form and scale to it, and a curious little mushroom top, with ring that slides a bit up and down.
