a few years ago we went to a renaissance fair and some fellow there was selling childrens toys he had made, swords and shields. We bought both boys a set. That shield looks like the same quality, just a fun toy for someone and by no means antique OR 500 worth of craftsmanship Wherever you go There you are --- On Thu, 8/20/09, Shane B <shaneb@ij.net> wrote: From: Shane B <shaneb@ij.net> Subject: Re: [World_of_Warcraft_List] PRIMITIVE FOLKART MEDIEVAL HANDMDE WINGD UNICORN SHIELD - eBay (item 230365202744 end time Sep-06-09 20:45:15 PDT) To: World_of_Warcraft_List@yahoogroups.com Date: Thursday, August 20, 2009, 8:55 PM Yeah - these are the type of shields that I used when sword fighting for the SCA http://www.sca.org and my website (I am Alastair) here at: http://lionsgoblet.com/  me at: Here is my shield and arms registered in England below: http://lionsgoblet.com/SCA/ALASTAIR/MYSHIELD.GIF Rhonda you might be interested in browsing this website as it has a lot of neat pics of my old 'sword fighting' *hobby* lol  http://lionsgoblet.com/SCA/  Mysword Notice the similarities in how the shields are put together...yeah it's an SCA shield it's definitely handmade but it sure isn't worth five hundred dollars.

According to the ubiquitous seller this is "primitive folk art" so if any of you know of a group that fights with "primitive folk art" then this deal is for YOU!  The shield is "winged" too!  WOW!!!  It also is very enticing because it has "SOME TYPE OF RUBBER TIED AROUND THE WOOD SHIELD WITH ROPE."  I wonder how the "primitives" figured this out?? Tire trees? "THIS WAS PURCHASED AT A PENNSYLVANIA ANTIQUE MARKET.  I'M NOT LISTING IT AS AN ANTIQUE, BUT MERELY STATING WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED FROM." ROFLMAO!!! Around Pennsylvania?  Hmmmmm Maybe it was brought over by these 'dudes'?  http://explorepahistory.com/images/ExplorePAHistory-a0a7t1-a_349.jpg http://www.accessgenealogy.com/native/pennsylvania/ The William Penn Treaty, by Jack Savitsky, 1982.     Credit: The State Museum of Pennsylvania A modern interpretation of Benjamin West's classic painting, The William Penn Treaty, 1982, by Savitsky, Pennsylvania's "primitive pop artist" of Carbon County. http://cgi.ebay.com/PRIMITIVE-FOLKART-MEDIEVAL-HANDMDE-WINGD-UNICORN-SHIELD_W0QQitemZ230365202744QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item35a2d60938 It's still not too late boys and girls! :) http://tinyurl.com/mysteryshield "You are watching this item.
