    Hi!

    Found these birds at a charity shop in London and was wondering if anyone could tell me what they were used for and how old they are IMG_3690.jpg IMG_3686.jpg IMG_3683.jpg IMG_3677.jpg ?

    Novelty decorative item some people will buy on impulse. Useful as paperweight. They are about three years old. Are u sure they are iron?

    These were sold as shelf edgers or for flower pots. I put them in my garden. Patinated brass.
