Vintage Mexican feather art - fanciful birds made of feathers surrounded by hand-painted leaves and flowers on a pure black background.
All enclosed in hand-carved wood frames with clear plastic covering. Backs are cardboard.
Each picture advertises a different company in gold:
Wagners Grocery 1318 Fillmore Ave. BA-3580
Lancaster Feed & Farm Supply Poultry & Dairy Feeds RE. 1600
Hasselbeck Bros. Garage 261 Keystone Near Doat TA. 1850
The numbers at the end look like old telephone exchange numbers for the businesses which would date them pre 1955 or so. They may be Philadelphia or Pennsylvania exchanges.
Size: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"
No manufacturers mark but look like those similarly produced by Mexi-Mart in Toronto, Ohio.
Excellent, mint condition! I would recommend for preservation, that the old cardboard backs be removed and replaced with archival mat board.
