This pair of chickadee birds look very lifelike. They are very colorful and are complete with realistic looking eyes.
I purchased the set at an estate sale so don't know much about them. The lady holding the sale said that her mother used to make many different types of animals such as these but that birds were her specialty. I asked about the materials used and she said she remembers her mom using small wood pieces, crushed felt, and pods and glue. I was told that as sets were made, they were wrapped and put away to serve as gifts.
As for their age, she said her mom passed in 2002, but was unable to construct the animals for quite a few years before. Her 'guesstimate" of their age was 1960s to 1990s.
The birds are roughly two inches in size. As far as I can tell there are no pieces missing. The bottom of one has a small amount of glue residue.
Delivery will be via USPS First Class Mail Parcel. Shipping is from Nevada.
Buyer to pay $5.45 delivery charges.
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING CHARGES: Twice yearly, and again in November for the holiday season (so three times per year) the postal service increases shipping charges. This is what they call their "Delivering For America" plan in which they hope to become profitable. It's a 10 year plan that started in 2021, so we've got years to go with multiple price increases on shipping charges each year. I try to absorb the new charges and haven't increased my shipping charges in three years. This year unfortunately, I have to if I want to stay in business. I'll try to keep it reasonable and even absorb some of the increases when possible.
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items will safely fit into a single box or envelope. However, my web host is not set up to calculate multiple item shipping costs. At checkout, you will be charged full shipping price on each item purchased and I will refund the appropriate amount of overpayment. If you are uncomfortable with that, you can send me an email with your zip code and stating which items you'll be purchasing and I'll calculate the correct combined shipping charges and send you a custom invoice.
INTERNATIONAL PURCHASED: Sorry, I do not ship to locations outside of the United States.
All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they come from homes where smoking or pets were present. Unless otherwise stated, all items are sold in the same condition as when I obtained them.
