and the original stronger green from the inside--and nicely tailored pantaloons with lace trim underneath

Clinging to the Top, Old Snapshot Photo of Tower Climber lovely teapot and the original stronger greenI love the way the man at the top of this rather make shift feeling tower clings to its post and gazing upward as if his climbing was not done for the sake of conquering the tower, but rather for the sake of getting closer to the heavens! Nice, too, that the tower topper extends beyond the top edge of the frame. 4 1 4" x 3 1 4" and in good condition, clearly removed from an album, with residue on the reverse.
