Great Old Folk Art Ring Toss Toy Dogs - A Pair

Regular price $80.00

Found in New Hampshire, this is a terrific pair of old handmade wooden ring toss toys with excellent original teal green and red paint, and metal rings still attached.  Hard to beat these smiling faces I think, especially the freckles following the long curves of their upturned snouts! I think it is possible that the strings were replaced at some point, but otherwise they're perfectly in tact, painted on both sides, and in very good shape. I have not yet mastered the art of catching the rings on the noses, but with some practice surely one could. 

Seems good to keep them together so I'm selling as a pair. Each measures approx 8 3/4" x 6 1/4"; wood is 1/4" thick. One shows a bit more paint loss and aging than the other, but both are in good shape structurally with lots of play left in them. Photos document first one then the other. C. 1940s or so I think.
