Untouched Very Early 20th C. Log of Steel Wool caribbean watercolor 13 1/2" long x 4"

13 1/2" long x 4" tall x 1 3/8" deep

I'm quite charmed by this swinging tabletop picture frame

It is also exactly as tall as it is wide

Untouched Very Early 20th C. Log of Steel Wool caribbean watercolor 13 1/2" long x 4"Like a large untouched roll of a British butcher's butcher paper I recently found and sold, this one feels like it found me, to my eye a perfect readymade which I had no choice but to take home whether it appeals to anyone else or not. I've since learned that the American Steel Wool Manufacturing Company that produced it founded in 1896 by David Wolf in Greenwich, New York seems in fact to to have been the first company to bring steel wool to market
