Very nice vintage hand carved wooden fish on a wooden stand. The stand is a recent replacement. The fish measures 14" long from end to end. On the stand, it is 10" high. Eyes appear to be nail heads, The painted surface is more worn on one side of the fish. It is either a defect in the wood or an age related crack in the wood that is tight and stable and can be seen on one side of the fish. Taking a look at the fish fin, there is possibly an old repair to the fin. I am not absolutely sure but it is worth mentioning for accuracy. Simple, yet nicely done.

Buyer pays shipping.  I ship items either via the US Postal Service or UPS Ground.  If you are unhappy with the shipping charges you paid, it is more appropriate to register your displeasure with either the US Postal Service or UPS, (not the ebay feedback rating system),  since they are the ones who set the rates I charge you.  Payment must be received within 5 days.
Please take a moment to view my other listings of antiques, mostly primitives, and items in hard to find and most coveted old paint. Thanks for looking.
A note about AAFA: AAFA stands for Antique Americana & Folk Art. I am pleased to be among a select group of invited Ebay sellers who specialize in the sale of antiques, primitives and folk art. Not all of the items I sell meet the AAFA criteria, so be assured that I will apply the AAFA tag only when it is appropriate to do so. When you see AAFA in an item title, it should mean that the item is a true unenhanced antique and not a “vintage”, altered, or newly crafted piece. There are some unauthorized ebay sellers who are applying the AAFA banner without permission to items that do not meet our criteria. I see this on a daily basis despite polite reminders from authorized sellers. Reproductions, even good ones, have NO PLACE under an AAFA listing, Sellers who do this are trying to capitalize on a reputation and client base that we have attempted to build over the past 4 years. Before bidding on an “AAFA” item, please read the seller’s description carefully, (be wary of wording like, “AAFA Like”,  “Antique Like” or “antique style“), and review their feedback. We are working to challenge any false use of “AAFA”.
