Bought it for the horse. I once sold a Takahashi bird to Carol Takahashi (her parents made them) so I've seen the real deal before. This one though...? It has a safety pin gooved and fixed into the back - a total WWII make-do since the pinbacks they were known for weren't made yet. WWII metal rationing. No siggie, but only some were signed. The feet are missing, which is how it ended up where I found it. The paint looks good though, and the wood looks right. </p><p><br /></p><p>I sold one that was legit years ago, to Carol Takahashi.
