[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 9811882, member: 84"]I found this at my local thrift & a google image search turned up various versions of a old ornament used to keep mice out of lamp oil? Like thus: KUTAHYA POTTERY HANGING ORNAMENT TURKEY, 18TH CENTURY egg-shaped, designed to prevent mice from getting to lamp oil. I don't know how to tell how old it is but there is some crackling on face showing the paint has some age (last 2 photos) Are these copied? How can I tell if it's real? How exactly would they keep mice away - like a scarecrow? Thank you.
