Ornaments & MobilesSailors, whalers and airplane mechanics used to fashion, carve and whittle pieces of scrap wood into often charming miniatures. During long voyages, in times of war, away from home for years at a time, they wanted to keep contact with their loved ones, sending letters and packages, small mementos, works of art, works of love. This rich vein of historical folk art is continued by AM in its series of miniature ships and planes. They serve as fun and colorful ornaments in a Christmas Tree, as stocking stuffers, but also as little inexpensive, but high quality fun gifts to take home from vacation.
