This is one of my bird-on-nests collection. I have no recollection of my purchase of this item, but I half think I
got it in a box-lot at a Stapletons Newcastle auction.
It sits, with my other birds, on a white book case, in the sunny front window of my living room.
It’s a common item. All my searches tend to date it as a 1970s item. Mine has the number <14> on the bottom of the nest. No idea what that means.
Pretty piece, probably had powder in it originally.
I HAVE ONE OF THESE #2 DOES THE NUMBER REPRESENT ANYTHING?
THANKS
Hi – Thnx for your comment. My understanding (and I am no expert) is that the number is a mold number. It indicates which mold the piece was produced in. My piece has the number 14. Don’t know if this also indicates that your piece was made earlier than mine. If you haev any photos of pieces to share, I’d be happy to post them. cheers. d.b.
