Bust of a Man with Thick Mustache, Charming Old Folk Art Carving portrait and with its tail thenI don't know the visages of past presidents well enough to know if this carving represents one or not, but to my eye he looks more like a barber, or a sailor, or maybe an antiques dealer! Great face, great old folk carving whatever the case, with a wonderful warm dry patina. Late 19th early 20th c. I would guess, and even better in hand. 4" x 1 5 8" x 1 1 2". Great antique condition, with general wear all to the good and a great warm dry patina.
