    Started going through the stacks of paintings I have now that the thrift stores are closed & I can't buy anymore(!) and found this.
    It's painted on wood & the nail on top seems old, but it may just be a finishing nail for all I know. I do think it was very well done & can't understand why the artist didn't sign it?
    Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Not old, no wear to be seen, I don't see any "old" nails either.

    Pull it out for July 4th, it is decorative.

    Best guess late 1950s to about 1970, when the "patriotic" decor boom was on.

    I thought it was too clean to be real old - but you never know! Thanks all.

    Sad to think that big bicentennial thing started a half century ago

    I think it was a homemade project done for the bicentennial 1976.
    Looks right for the time period. Paintings on brown wood. Brown wood homemade frame.
    It's rather nice. Who ever did it had some talent.
