    Any info on a small painting

    Good call, spot on. In addition, it's not actually a painting, but rather a mechanically reproduced image made for decoration purposes.

    Any idea what this small wooden head is?

    Rather creepy I'd say.

    Susan, spot on. 1960's at the earliest. Decorative value.

    People who sit on "know-how"

    An old Violin, is it worth anything to you?

    The photos cut off too much of the front, back and scroll to allow for a good photo evaluation. Also need a full length side view, top of scroll...
