I have outside wooden statues of Punch and Judy that are designed to be mounted on the outside of a house. They are about 4ft tall and still have the original patina on them. They were carved by Richard G Oakes, I have information that Mr. Oakes was a friend and companion of Abraham Lincoln. I am interested in what the value would be. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thank You
William Brewer
