just a few minutes after he had been brought into the shop

I know the snake at right is an Indian Cobra

SPY, Antique Brass Apple Crate Stencil ferrotype pretty worn gilded wood frameI'm not so much interested in old apple crate stencils for their own sake, but rather ones bearing evocative words, which also happen to be varieties of apples, with SPY being a perfect case in point! All sorts of interesting contexts to hang this one in, perhaps right next to the binoculars! 7 x 3 1 16" and in good antique condition, clearly much used, with darkening to the surface of brass.
