is written "original chalk drawing

and also some cut with old company logos--but I've never seen one I like as much as this Stop + Look = Safety stencil

SOLD Wolf Clenching Gold Ring, Old Carving Presumed Black Forest card trick is written "original chalk drawingThe manner of this carving looks Black Forest to me, and the subject of it, too.

I like it set tabletop just as pictured, emphasizing the prize like nature of the ring, but a string or wire could also be strung through a couple of the carved holes along the base to hang it flush
