Ships, Folk Art, and Whimsey in Bottles

From the Artist: "The following bottle is housed in a 1.75 Knob Creek bottle. Uncle Sam and a little boy are standing outside Uncle Sam's Club, a local big box store. The two signs outside the store describe the sales for the day: 35 lbs carrots $5.95, 100 rolls of toilet paper $8.99. An orange fire hydrant is behind the boy. Uncle Sam is wear his usual outfit. He is pointing at the small boy. The boy is eating a triple decker ice cream cone while looking up at Uncle Sam. The topper is a replica of Uncle Sam's hat with a red and white striped central shaft and a star studded locking mechanism. The title of the whimsey is inlaid in the hat topper. I WANT YOU on the other side is the reminder of the title TO PULL MY FINGER. For some reason or the other there is a Coral snake slithering on the roof of Uncle Sam's Club."
