<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 3120837, member: 8363"]Has anyone seen something like this hinged, long-beaked bird that appears to be a desk accessory? Thumbing down the back of the head opens the long beak and clamps down hard on what is put into it. I'm guessing bronze on marble. I'm not a birder, so I don't know what bird it is supposed to represent. It's very cool though and appears to be from an earlier time. I'm guessing that because of the bottom, which has a thin protective surface and the fact that it evokes a time when paper rather than computers were the focus of a desk. There are no maker marks.</p><p>Can anyone help me with search terms? I really don't know what someone put into it to hold that wouldn't marred by the beak clamping down so hard. It is 5.5" long and 2" wide. I appreciate any help. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]294229[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]294230[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]294231[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]294233[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]294234[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]294235[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]294236[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]294237[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]294238[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
