Was curious if anyone knew anything about it or possible value. I found a couple listings for a pair, but wasn’t able to find anything else. There’s a mark on the bottom 'wb mfg. co. model number 2250, copyright usa' for Weidlich Brothers, Bridgeport, CT. And both listings state they are from 1930s. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    I would have said Bird of Paradise as well. Here are two jade birds of Paradise that I found online. Sometimes things are misrepresented. That tail doesn't look like a peacock to me. The stance and top feather crest also don't look peacock. 233244.jpeg
