Antique Original PAINT CARVED WOOD BIRDS Feeding FOLK ART Mechanical CHILDS TOY
ORIGINAL ANTIQUE 19TH CENTURY CARVED AND PAINTED FEEDING BIRDS FOLK ART MECHANICAL WOOD TOY. THIS IS A GREAT PIECE OF FOLK ART. THIS PIECE LOOKS AS THOUGH IT WAS MADE BY SOMEONE CARVING OR WHITTLING A COUPLE OF BIRDS ON THEIR PORCH AND THEN HEADING INTO THEIR SHOP TO CUT THE OTHER PIECES TO JUST PUT IT ALL TOGETHER. THE BIRDS ARE WONDERFUL LITTLE PAINTED BIRDS THAT MEASURE ABOUT 3 3/4 INCHES LONG. THE PAINT IS ALL ORIGINAL AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE STICKS WITH WHICH THE BIRDS ARE PERCHED ARE JUST 2 VERY OLD LEFT OVER SCRAPS. GREAT ORIGINAL TACKS THAT ARE BENT INTO THE WOOD ON THE FRONT. THE BIRDS ARE A THICKNESS THAT HOLD THE WHOLE TACK. THE WAY THE MECHANICAL TOY WORKS IS THAT THE 2 HORIZONTAL STICKS PULL BACK AND FORTH MAKING THE BIRDS ALTERNATE DIPPING INTO THE FOOD BOWL IN THE MIDDLE. THE BOWL SHOWS AN OLD CHIP BUT STILL DISPLAYS BEAUTIFULLY. REALLY A WONDERFUL TOY THAT WAS MADE TO ENTERTAIN YOUNG CHILDREN. VERY DELICATE AND AMAZINGLY PRESERVED. TOTAL DISTANCE WHEN BOTH BIRDS ARE UP IS 13 INCHES. THE STRUCTURE MAKES IT VERY EASY TO HANG ON THE WALL AS THE PIECE OF FOLK ART IT IS. REALLY AN OUTSTANDING PIECE – A TRUE ONE OF A KIND. CHECK THE PICTURES ON THIS EXCELLENT PIECE!!! DONT MISS THIS CHANCE. PICTURES ARE AN EXCELLENT INDICATION OF CONDITION. CHECK MY FEEDBACK AND YOU WILL SEE THAT MY CUSTOMERS ARE HAPPY.
