Other than the fading

which left some residue

decorated only with some blue glazing on the tail fin

perfect patina

though I suppose it's not impossible that it's a heavily made over old one

C. 1900 Painting of Boaters on Souvenir Paddle michael lambert Other than the fadingA little loss to the bottom edge of this pine wood paddle, but I thought the little oil painting of two boaters on it too charming to leave behind. I believe this dates to the late 19th early 20th century and would have been a souvenir purchased at a vacation spot, clearly somewhere on the water! In addition to the transportive view, I love the self referential nature of it, especially a miniature painting of a paddle on a paddle. 16 1 16" l x 3 13
