The patina on this piece

and this one struck me because it seemed ironic that such a bucolic looking boat would be called the Defender

I have to think this spotted brown and white one might have been modeled on a someone's favorite pet rabbit

not sure if product of a small cut at some point or just worn through with age

Adam's Farewell 1906 Hand-drawn Postcard vintage drawing The patina on this piece"Dear Aggie, Donnie thinks shame [?] to write you himself. He says you have to keep looking at this ship till you get word that he is safe of the sea, but he says keep cool and don't excite yourself. He wrote it on a bit of paper for me to write." I fell in love with the ink and watercolor drawing on the face of this postcard, which I think just perfectly captures the feeling of farewell, including via the perfectly lonely feeling hand written caption
