    Description

    I was in a southern CA museum that was hosting a collectible sale in 1987.  The initials on the saw are V. W. I do not have a full name but I remember she was from Oregon.
    I was first attracted to the beautiful Fall farm scene. Then when I picked it up and saw the cute joke of a donkey refusing to pull his cart of flowers I had to buy it.  A father pushes the cart and the son pushes the father. And the donkey is laying down and seems to be smiling under his sombrero.  The father and son also wear sombreros.
    The saw is 28" long and 5 1/2" wide at the handle.  Then decreases to 1 3/4" wide.
