CORRECTION – Signed by Sarah W. Symonds. Circa 1898 to 1905. This was when Sarah made 'people' door stops. When her 'houses/buildings' took off and starting selling in 1905 is when she created a little assembly line and from then on houses and alike became the core of her business. This business by then was turning into more of a mass production outfit, but the early ones were painted by her.
Condition: (Excellent).
