Featured Silver Owl match safe/holder, smoking cigarrett.

He is 5" tall, green eyes, hollow, silver, I tried to get better photos of the marks, but they are difficult to read even with a glass. Can anyone help me with the marks? Any other info appreciated. TIA

The two little stamps are from Spain

 

Thank you Terry.

 

That owl is fabulous!

 

Thank you, Ive had it since 1969, I just thought that it was time to find out more about him.

 

Are those marks inside ? I agree hes fab.

 

They are on the bottom of its feet.

 

Not surprised he's Spanish. They make lots of these nice silver birds, I've seen shop windows heaving with them.

 

Very cute! And kudos to Terry for seeing what those marks are. Better eyes than mine, Gunga Din!

 

Jeez.... Even birds were smoking then?

 

Perhaps he/she was just lining their nest . . .

I have a brain load of such.

 

WOW again!!!
I had neighbor who made the mistake of running them off his garage roof which was below his second story window. They then daily bombed the house with whatever they could lift!!!

 

Hi,
I had the opposite problem. The crows used to bring me golf balls and put them in the bird bath I had in the back yard. I used to think it was to thank me for putting in such a big bath. Over 8 years they brought me over 70 excellent golf balls. The Plainfield County Club was about six blocks away.

Ha! Wow!
Now THAT'S a Cinderella story!

 

I had a fox do that to two of us on a par 3 at Atlantide golf course.
She took 5 balls off the green, before I chased her into the woods and got one back !..........

 

Is that a 'birdie'?

 

If Foxy had left us alone ...one of us might have had a Birdie......as it was....we all had a " Cow " !!
