<p>[QUOTE="Joan, post: 9495741, member: 5398"]I'm asking for help on behalf of my sister who was given this little carved wooden foo dog by an elderly man who lives in Minnesota and Florida. He traveled a lot, but didn't tell my sister anything about the foo dog, when or where he got it--maybe it was a tourist trinket he picked up on his travels. At some point, someone glued an inexpensive modern pin to the back, but it fell off. The way it's carved with an opening on the back to thread something through, I wonder if it was designed to be worn with a scarf or a tie belt. It also has what looks like a signature on the back.</p><p><br /></p><p>My sister would like to know how old it might be, where it was made, what kind of wood it is, what its purpose is, and what the writing on the back says. We both appreciate any information and opinions offered.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]447570[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]447571[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]447572[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]447573[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
