Vtg/primitive Antique Noahs Ark-20 Fig-wood Pull Toy-1914? In Old Texas Church For Sale

---

What's here is an old all wood (except old nails) Noah's Ark with 20 old wood Figures that all store/fit in the ark. All are wood and appear to be hand made. There are 6 animal figures that are newer (Elephants-Camels-Giraffes). Noah (with Bird) and his Wife are old-hand made as are the 2 Ducks, 2 Horses, 2 Cows, 2 Sheep, 2 Pigs (I think), and 2 Rabbits - all old and hand made. There are some small teeth marks on the smaller rabbits body-not bad but should be mentioned.

The wood Wheels roll, move A1 and there is a 3 foot string and wood ball to pull this unit along. Under the Ark itself is 'Walt 14' carved into the wood and several (looks like pencil) doodles and such. The side Door and its old latch work A-OK. It has an old hinge under it.

You can see old wear marks and such from pushing and pulling it along. I'm guessing this Ark was made about 1914. This old Church has a Texas 'Historical Marker' out in front and this old, old, old building needs a ton of work. Rather than flatten it (which we should do) we are going to try and save this Church--- as a Church should be. I took some photos to help out.

All Figures stand on their own or could be hung (tree-string-etc.). I'm not sure about the black eyelets (on top of Figures) as being original. This old unique, primitve art wood work was wrapped in an old, old falling apart cloth/blanket in the attic corner and is 1 of a kind I think.
