" Rendered in an earthy palette of dark green and brown

with minor wear to the photos light and general wear to the board

Nice Old Folk Art Model Water Tower with Green Roof eye test slides innocence to knowingJust a great little piece of tabletop architecture, I'd guess made as part of a pretty elaborate model train set up. I love the watertower as form, minimalist and iconic, and the soft green paint on the pitched roof combined with the white and black really does it for me. 7 1 2" t x 3 7 8" wide and deep. 1920s 40s I'd guess. Some paint as evident, all to the good I think.
