Featured 2 Items Help Required Carved Bird on Tube & Acrylic Cat

Hi,
2 items I need help with
any information appreciated
thanks for looking
I picked this fellow up and now trying to figure out why - anyone recognize him?
he is 1 3/4" x 2"H x 3/4"D, 2 slots on the bottom


#2 is a carved bird on a bamboo tube. Together they are 7 1/4"H, the bottom part is 3 1/4"H with a 1 3/4" opening. The design on the bottom part is carved.

 

I think the lucite is a mouse. Beyond that...no clue. The bird is too big for a needle case. The decorations look like they're from one of the Pacific islands; I'd be thinking New Zealand, and possibly be totally wrong.

 

Loving the bird/tube thing - getting an African vibe from it - just a vibe as I really have no idea.

 

Looks like the first piece is a cat and was part of a set! (I love it!)


It's ID'd here as Guyon Quebec Lucite 4 cats and a mouse, 1970's?

Actually ,I think you have the Mouse. The cats have 3 whiskers and the mouse two.
GREAT JOB SBSV!

 

thanks folks
Using lucite I can now find some, thanks evelyb30!
thanks for the link SBSVC, great to see the whole set!

 

I think the mouse is the long one in front, the others are cats

 

Looks like it!

And I also love the bird.

 

the bird may be a recent Indonesian lime container..
