CEOcoinshop Valued Member United States 186 Posts	Posted 06/01/2011 8:41 pm Looks like a poured lead quail thingy..... Just playing. Is the bottom broken? looks a little uneven, like it came off of something taller. Report this Post to the Staff
carmykle Pillar of the Community United States 2448 Posts	Posted 06/01/2011 9:39 pm No it's a Cast leaden Quail Whats-a-ma-bob. Sorry, couldn't resist. It actually looks lie some kind of Bank. Looks like the back of the design is sheared off. Hard to say. In Maryland, while antiquing, my wife and I would run into many types of cast banks and yard art of birds and other wild animals. What are the dimensions? It looks too small and heavy to be a type of wind vane. Report this Post to the Staff
