Amazing piece of American folk art belongs to a nautical museum in NYC. Henry Ford is trying to buy it, but the price is a “steep” $7,500. People may not realize that Ford was perhaps the richest man in the world at the time and bought everything for his museum in Deer Park. Original paper caption. International Newsreel stamp on verso. Bottom chip o/w EX. 8x10”.
