Very Sweet Old Rooster Potholder man carrying seal I dug this one out

I dug this one out of a deep pile of paper at the flea market

rather than just set somewhere as a target

and a little bit of paint loss on a few of the green leaves

with just minor dings and scratches

With a cloth hinge that is holding tight

Very Sweet Old Rooster Potholder man carrying seal I dug this one outThis 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.
