Boys and Birds, Antique Carved Oak Folk Art Frame, Original Glass and Backing Plate antique Baptist lessons smaller disk is held tightUpon walking into a favorite treasure trove in Cohoes, NY, this is the first thing I saw, sitting on the counter, just arrived that day and of course love at first sight for me with these boys and birds.
