And the colors—I believe acrylic paint—are even brighter and lusher than photos capture

Plenty of room to fit a hand inside

firmly in place and opening and closing with ease--one must be just a very tiny bit bent

Antique Red Clay PRAY Brick, Robert E. Pray and Co., Greenfield MA blue prints And the colors—I believe acrylicThis PRAY brick is the companion piece (in my mind) to the plaster Lady Victory mold I am posting today! These bricks were produced by Robert E. Pray and Co. of Greenfield, MA, founded in the 1840s and I believe in operation into the 1920s or so, with this red clay brick dating the late 19th early 20th c. I think. An excellent found object I'd say, with terrific font for the lettering, too, and which I like all the better for all of its irregularities
