That being said, now I need to look for silk ballet slippers for the man-cave!

DEFINITELY Philly. Should have a good coat of nicotine on it. It probably doesn't matter since the dealer is VERY proud of it, but I've been known to pay in the $5-600 neighborhood for "utilitarian folk art". The size is very nice for display. If you like it, have a place for it, and can get it under $400, I think it's a good pickup.
