Early 20th Century Americana Uncle Sam Lumberjack Whirligig

About the Item

Charming whirligig depicting a figure resembling Uncle Sam sawing a log mounted to a wooden base. Hand carved, painted, and assembled with applied facial details. When manually turned, the propeller activates the woodman's 'sawing' motion. This stunning piece of Americana is an extraordinary example fully handcrafted with all original paint and hardware. Very nice, vintage condition showing wear commensurate with age and use (namely, light paint loss in places). Wear adds to the rustic charm of the piece, and, along with patina, serves as evidence of good age. Measures 29.5” L x 27.5” H x 25" D.
