    I was hoping to get some information on this brass paperweight bird.

    It has been in my family for a while but I know nothing about it.

    It has two makers marks one looks a little like a butterfly and the other a BM type mark.

    Any information would be much appreciated.

    Hi, IMO this is a paperweight that was sold in the Benaki Museum shop in Athens, Greece.

    Jivvy the research is my favorite

    Hi @Peterd , most people prefer if you hit the "full image" button when you upload images. Then they display in the body of the message.
