    Description

    A very unusual vintage lead bird, about 1 ¾ inches long, of unknown age and origin, probably from the 1950s.
    Charming in its own way, but definitely a mystery piece.
    It’s crudely made, with faint markings on one side of the neck to suggest feathers and barely defined wings.
    The shape resembles a pigeon, although his beak is rather snub-nosed (but not broken off).
