Offered on eBay this week is this male version of the pair of Stewart B McCulloch statues seen on the I Love Lucy mantel. What is unusual about this one is that the base is painted all the way down. The other ones I’ve seen have a white base.
In the screen capture above from the charm school spisode of I Love Lucy we notice two small framed prints high up over the mantel. These automotive prints of early carriages are examples of framed prints that were sold in sets in the mid century era. Examples of these are often seen on eBay. Below is a closer look at the details as seen on the show.
The same two pictures along with a matching third print were also seen below the Maurice Utrillo picture on the back wall in other episodes.
