Industrial Vintage Wooden Mold hoodoo I especially like what it

I especially like what it is: a stirrup cup

There is no ball included

I am not sure when this one was made or who made it

I found this piece at an estate sale in Marblehead

and with holes for eyes

Industrial Vintage Wooden Mold hoodoo I especially like what itIn these parts, one finds a fair number of old industrial wooden molds. I love the silhouette and interplay of parts on this one, the contrast between finished dark wood and and black painted wood, and the dynamism of the whole thing, evoking planes, trains, machines, movement. I think it probably dates to the 1940s or so and came from a factory in Massachusetts or New Hamphire. Set it on a shelf or attach a hook to the back and hang it on the wall.
