c. 1930s Pennsylvania Folk Art Turtle Stool in Great Original Paint horse roulette with minor toning and lightI found one of these old Pennsylvania folk art turtle footstools a year or so ago in shades of red and black and have kept an eye out since the perfect present for a child or grandchild being groomed to appreciate American folk art!
