<p>[QUOTE="bennett, post: 32137, member: 274"]I appreciate all the friendly input! The retro-style down-swept wings are an interesting and distinctive feature. The details are pretty good on the feathers and the pretzel twisted rope with tassel ends, and it seems like a production piece of decent quality. The dark patina (lightened by the flash) seems to point to it having some age, which does not rule out a '50's date of creation, but an irrational gut-feeling tells me it is probably older than that. I searched long and hard to no avail before I brought the question here. Hey, if everything was easy we would always be bored! Thanks again for all the help! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
