Ships, Folk Art, and Whimsey in Bottles

This Haig Dimple bottle contains a scene of a man building a ship model. The man sits on a small stool in the rear of the bottle and is holding a mast in one hand and a stick of glue in the other. He is colorfully dressed and is wearing a pair of black glasses sitting low on his nose. The man is built in numerous sections to fit through the opening of the bottle. The ship is a simple three mast ship with a blue hull and two sections of the masts already installed. On one side of the man is a bucket of glue and a wood plane. On the other side is a wooden mallet and a book. The bottle is sealed with a cork.
