The catalog record

Both are signed and dated 1972. Signed by both brothers, and each has a different poem on the underside. Drake says, "Into each life some rain must fall no sky is always clear no cheek but sometime has to feel the dampness of a tear." Hen says, " I went down to the "jail house" once to witness for the lord. I told them how the lord saved me they sure looked mighty bored. They nudged each other then they smiled. They all knew I was dumb, but they staid in and I waltzed out, when leaving time had come." Heads on both are turned almost 90 degrees. Extra fancy paint and feather detail on both. Measures 14" long. G&D SOLD $4200 including 20% BP. Lot 172. https://bid.guyetteanddeeter.com/lots/view/5-TBSRF
