SOLD Old Carved Folk Art Leaping Deer with Nail Eyes tube I've had one other old

I've had one other old toy mold in this shop similar in construction to this pig--which I just found along with what looks to be a tweety bird

SOLD Old Carved Folk Art Leaping Deer with Nail Eyes tube I've had one other oldI believe this sweet old carved deer once stood on a post, as there is a small hole in her belly, and certainly she could be given a stand once again, though I like her just as she is, simultaneously leaping and resting. A lot of years on her for sure, late 19th very early 20th c.
