A lovely 1:24 scale or small 1:12 scale so-called whale shelf by the late artisan Sue Hamlin of Ohio.  From what I have researched this style with its distinctive curved sides reminiscent of a whale's tail flukes was made in New England in the first half of the nineteenth century.  I have four of these, two of them signed with varying degrees of legibility.  Pot luck which one you get :-)
