Bob's Fantastic Old Shoe Shine Box painted metal sign with some dings and paint

with some dings and paint loss here and there

I think pine

There are a few holes in the steel near the base for mounting to a wall indoors or out

and with conveying character through specific details

I really love how precariously perched the covered bridge in this little painting seems

Bob's Fantastic Old Shoe Shine Box painted metal sign with some dings and paintEvery inch of this old shoeshine box makes me happy, from the wonderfully primitive shoe form at top, to the combination of old red and green paint, to the fat old nails everywhere but most of all it is the "Shine" carved across the front and the many "BoB"s carved everywhere else! This was, most definitely, Bob's box, and one has to think he was quite proud of it. Really a terrific folk art object I think, which could also provide handy storage,
