Antique Crucifix with A Unique Tree Trunk Style Wooden Cross & Corpus of Christ
Located in Lisse, NL
Unique and perfectly balanced crucifix with a marvelous cross and a detailed corpus of Jesus.
This unique design crucifix comes with an incredibly detailed and top quality carved, circular, tree trunk-like cross. We have never seen such a cross before and it must have taken one highly skilled sculptor / artisan a very long time to create. The corpus of Christ too comes with beautiful details and it has the most amazing patina. We have sold some rare and good quality crucifixes over the years and this finely detailed corpus on this rare wooden cross is right up there with the most unique. Some crucifixes come with sculptures of Christ in terrible agony, but the serene face of this Christ reflects nothing but piece and calm. Both alive and deceased He was in a different realm and that is what the sculptor (in our view) has perfectly managed to capture. Have you also noticed the original and stylish INRI sign at the top? Furthermore, this antique crucifix...

Bellamy Style Hand-Carved New England Pine Eagle, Early to Mid-20th Century
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
This is an original American eagle, hand-carved from pine during the early to mid 20th century. The eagle features a touch of original gilt over yellow sizing with hand-painted highlights, emphasizing the eyes and beak.
The eagle is displayed with both wings fully outstretched. The feathers are expertly detailed, especially considering that this eagle is a single-piece carving.
The eagle is both the national bird and the national animal of the United States. The founders of the United States were fond of comparing their new republic with the Roman Republic, in which eagle imagery, usually the golden eagle, was prominent. On June 20, 1782, the Continental Congress adopted the design for the Great Seal of the United States depicting a bald eagle grasping 13 arrows in its sinister (left) talon and an olive branch with its dexter (right) talons. Those arrows are tightly aligned, a symbol of "strength in unity" that's found in the traditional cultures everywhere, from the Romans to the Iroquois. In this case, the bundle of arrows were a nod to the unity of the original 13 colonies. The olive branches emphasize the power of peace.
The eagle motif has since appeared in allegorical engravings...

1930s Pacific System Homes Wooden Surfboard
Located in Haleiwa, HI
Late-1930s Pacific system Homes wood surfboard. Features an intricate design created with redwood and pine wood. Beautiful embellishments in the form of nose and tail blocks complete with an early style surfboard fin with low profile. This early surfboard weighs approximately 100 lbs. This incredible relic of surfing history has been held in the same Long Beach, CA family since new, handed down through several generations. This listing represents a seldom offered opportunity to own an remarkable early wooden surfboard from the 1930s.
Little is known about the first Pacific System Homes boards, produced either in late 1929 or early 1930, except that they were made from redwood strips held together with lag bolts, and were probably 10 feet long and weighed about 70 pounds. Pine and redwood boards replaced the all-redwood boards by 1932; full-length redwood-edged balsa boards, weighing as little as 45 pounds and costing less than $40, were introduced in the mid-’30s. A swastika symbol—used by American Indians, Vikings, and Greeks as a sign of good luck and harmony—was wood-burned or print-marked onto the back of all Pacific System Homes’ Swastika boards up until 1937. The following year, after the swastika-decorated German military invaded Austria, Pacific System changed the line name to “Waikiki Surf-Boards.”
The 1939 Waikiki board came in 10-, 11-, and 12- foot models, as well as a 14-foot paddleboard, and five- or six-foot “kiddie boards.” All were typical of the plank period: blunt-nosed, squared off at the tail, with near-parallel sides. Pacific System Homes boards were made in production runs of 15 on sawhorses in a designated dust-free area of the company’s 25-acre site, and were sold in beach clubs, sporting good stores, and high-end department stores like Robinson’s and the Broadway.
Custom-made Pacific System Homes boards were also available, built by top California surfer-boardmakers like Pete Peterson and Whitey Harrison. California boardmaker Dale Velzy...
