Life-Size Wooden Figures

Collector: Susan Hobson Murphy

Location: Hillsborough Antique Show

Details: Two life-size figures made of wood--portraits of real men from the 1930s who owned a door and sash company. These figures were gifts from their employees as a thanks for being hired during the Depression. Because it's such an unusual piece of American folk art, collectors can expect to pay $85,000 for just one figure or $150,000 for the pair.
