Elsie Zimmerman's Sweet Bird (Blue Flycatcher?) Watercolor, PA, c. 1930s aqua and yellow waist coat and

and yellow waist coat and breeches

This is beautifully designed and very nicely crafted old handmade solitaire game board--engaging to play

I have found a few other pieces very close to this one in form

and for the linear incisions and angled cuts on the pliers end

it just struck me as quite a beautiful thing

Elsie Zimmerman's Sweet Bird (Blue Flycatcher?) Watercolor, PA, c. 1930s aqua and yellow waist coat andOne of two watercolor birds by the same young Elsie Zimmerman whose watercolored color chart I've also listed today. I'll never say no a naive bird drawing of this sort no fuss, just good, and this one feeling quite tender to me. I'm not a bird expert; an image search suggests a Hill Blue Flycatcher? Whatever the case, this particular bird feels very gentle:) 9 1 8" x 6", very good condition, c. 1930s I believe.
