Accurate Description of Item
Copper Book Cover
Appraiser Remarks
Based on what I can see in the images provided, this would indeed appear to be a "Folk Art" type of book cover, possibly for use on a lectern stand in a church, the sermon notes kept in it. Without a provenance though, its origins are impossible to determine, it being a custom made "One of a kind" item. Most pieces like this tend to date from the second quarter of the 20th Century (1925-50) and often hand made by local craftsmen. Values for such undocumented items tend to be quite modest, often selling for less than $50.00.
Estimated Value
$35.00- $50.00
