Tramp Art has it's beginnings in the 1860s and was driven by re-purposing wooden cigar boxes that would be carved & decorated into whimsical folk art items, It was not until the late 1950s that this was recognized as an art form. John Zadora is one of only a few recorded artists and was from Pennsylvania, near the Allentown area, one of his pieces was the very first piece identified as Tramp Art in 1959. 
Mr. Zadora was in prison, allegedly for not supporting his wife, and he made these wall pockets with wings, doves, hearts & horseshoes, sadly little more is know about his history.
