This is a great Item from 1900s? Iv try to find but no luck .Here is my story.I used to always go to flea market in ashville and I walked past this guy and he had it in his hand and I said.Do you want to sell .And he said well I was but Im not sure and there was another guy ther and said its new .And I said no it is a good piece .and the guy said it was my grandmothers and she used to hang it up and keep her money init but that was all he knew .So I was looking better at it and seen sgniture on bottom and new I had to have.The other guy ther said.I will give you 10 dollars.I said just tell me how much you want you brought it out here to sell right ?He said ya! I think .I said put it in car and think about it I will be back in 10 min Im going to look around .He said ok .I came back and he said he thinks he was going to keep if he could only get $10 for it I said well just tell me how much you want he said well I need ? So I bought it.
