  1. Hi,

    Looks like an interesting piece, I would estimate in the $100-$150 range. It is Woodrow Wilson, probably 1917. I would be interested in acquiring it. Please email me if you like at ron.puechner@att.net

    Thanks,
    Ron

  3. I didn't realize it was plastic - I spoke to the owner via email, I would say it is probably not period and a later school or art project. Still interesting, but not as interesting as it would be if period.
