<p>[QUOTE="Aquitaine, post: 2110533, member: 602"]Curious about.... [USER=84]@journeymagazine[/USER] posted his "rack", which brought to mind what we walk by all the time and never think about!!! Was from my parents....in a moving carton from about 3 moves prior to we siblings UNpacking EVERYTHING after our Mom passed back in '03... I saw it first and claimed "dibs" (we'd each do that on occasion.....there was JUST SO MUCH!!)...I personally think the deer head is English Oak, but could be WAY off base.... and someone could PLEASE correct me if I'm WRONG!! He's on a wall pretty high up, so on precarious step stools I did the best estimated yard stick measuring I could! No Marks, NO receipt (of course...Mom's MO!) but from 3 moves ago, she'd had it a LONG time....NO she never went out of the country either!!! I LOVE the carving....altho not elaborate--very simple!! SO, TOP of rack to NOSE..straight down...approx. 25"; Ears straight down to nose...approx. 13"; Ear over to ear...approx. 10"; and Width of Rack tip to tip...approx. 21". Would love to know mostly what you think his age might be, I have no idea as to value, but know how you all feel about that, so I won't ask! He gets a mini santa hat on one side of the rack and a scarf at Christmas!!! Thanks for ALL and ANY input!!! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> OH, and when I say "Straight Down" in measuring, I mean straight down <b><u>VERTICALLY</u></b>, NOT running down the face....if that makes sense.....like....parallel with the wall......</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]250540[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]250541[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]250542[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]250543[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
