Vintage from the 1950s

Introducing the enchanting Spike Sculptures, a midcentury masterpiece conceived in 1954 by Ozark folk artist Doyle LaVelle Herrin. These timeless statuettes showcase the fusion of spikes, heavy gauge steel wires, light gauge steel plates, nuts, bolts, and various components meticulously crafted into delightful forms. Herrin's creative touch involves welding, shaping, and finishing with a powder coating, resulting in these charming tennis-playing "iron cartoons" that are bound to bring a perpetual smile to your face.

Herrin's unique vision and skilled hands come to life in each Spike Sculpture. The fusion of industrial materials with whimsical design creates a playful yet sturdy figurine that stands as a testament to midcentury folk art ingenuity.

These are signed "LaVelle," marking their authenticity and the artisan's personal touch. These signature touches enhance the collectible value and make each piece a distinct work of art.
