Highly Empathetic Rusty Old Welded Iron Garden Turtle seagull on driftwood 4 1/2" tall x 3

4 1/2" tall x 3 1/8" long x 2 5/8" wide and in excellent vintage condition with no chips or cracks or other notable flaws that I can see

Quite a labor of love it was for someone to make these--I've had a few larger handmade tin architectures

This is the second of two vintage gouache and colored pencil renderings of corporate jets that I found together

One is a bit larger than the other but the wood seems the same

dating to the 1940s I believe

Highly Empathetic Rusty Old Welded Iron Garden Turtle seagull on driftwood 4 1/2" tall x 3Found in Maine, I think this guy lived in a yard for a good many years, to my eye perfectly rusted and aged, as well as perfectly crude and a total charmer of a thing. Welded together of iron pieces, including a sweet little tail, and with a raised design animating his shell. 7 1 4 l x 4 5 8 w x 1 7 8 t, much aged and rusty but nut shedding, all to the good.
