About the Item
A life-sized .357 Magnum revolver carved entirely by hand from one piece of natural nephrite jade. I'm a second-generation jade collector, so it isn't often I come across something that is wildly, off-the-charts unique but here we are. I've never seen another.
I almost feel like I should just stop writing here. Because, what can I possibly add to the appeal of this eccentric treasure? I mean, a life-sized .357 rendered in jade is just not a thing you come across in life.
This one was hand-carved in America. The grip is deeply carved into non-slip texture, along with all the other little details you'd expect to see. I've even pictured it beside (well, above) the real thing so you can see for yourself: Darn, that's good.
So, the single thing I don't love is that whoever carved this -and I have absolutely no idea who created it- applied a coat of varnish when they were done. They didn't know that jade does not need the "protection" of varnish because it is the toughest gemstone, and non-permeable by all but the most powerful acids. It really ought to have been finished with a coat of wax. On the plus side, it will always have its high-gloss shine. Plus, it's not jewelry, so ultimately, who cares that they varnished it? Plus, it's a life-sized .357 magnum carved out of jade.
If you're a gun lover, or collector of curiosities, this is for you. Full stop.

Pair Folk Art Paintings on Wood Panel, 1980s, by Moses Tolliver "MoseT"
Located in Southbury, CT
My uncle Bob was a country lawyer in rural Alabama and Moses Tolliver was one of his friends and clients. The pair of original paintings you see here were given to my uncle by Mr. Tolliver in exchange for legal services in the 1980s.
Both the human figure and the snake were painted on scrap wood paneling and each has an aluminum beer pull-tab on the back for hanging. The works have been framed so the pull tab is not visible; if you prefer, simply remove the frames and both pieces will be as created.
The snake painting...
