Very Sweet Old Rooster Potholder mini shakers There is a small missing

There is a small missing piece of wood on his front right paw and rear right leg

and keep an eye out for them as I think they're just fantastic things

Earlyish 20th century I would think

They are in very good condition and very vivid in color

There's a warm patina on the brass

Very Sweet Old Rooster Potholder mini shakers There is a small missingThis sweet one I might exempt from duty as a potholder and just let live on a shelf among a flock of creatures, but it is ready to go should one wish to put it to use. Someone certainly put a lot of effort into it, crocheting the body with what looks to be silk cord, with red felt for its crest and beak and matching red felt lining. And button eyes on either side too. 8 1 8" long measured straight across from beak to back. Very good, clean condition.
