Authenticity Indicators
These are mass-market decor items, not vintage handcrafted folk art. No specific maker marks visible beyond standard retail barcoded tags. Authenticity is not a major factor for this item type.
Flaws to Note
Minor surface scratches or chips in the paint (common for this material); slight bending of the points possible due to thin metal construction.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace (local pickup avoids shipping costs), Mercari, or eBay. These are best sold as a bundle rather than individually.
Selling Tips
Market these as 'Farmhouse Americana Decor.' List them as a 'Set of 3' to justify shipping costs, as shipping metal items can be pricey due to box size. Photograph against a light neutral wall to show the 3D shadows. Best listed in late spring/early summer.
