Cock-A-Doodle-Doo

I like Roosters ~ O.K. ~ I LOVE Roosters and have collected them for over 20 years.  Back in the days when very few people went to thrift shops, I could pick them up for a dollar or two, not any more!!



Not only do I collect Roosters, I pick up things with Roosters on them, like the single Oil bottle.  Maybe one of these days I will find the Vinegar that matches.  At least that's what I tell myself.


Some I have purchased in Antique stores like this lovely pair.



This chalkware bobble  head is one of my favorites.



There is just one problem with having all of these "things" ~ they are not self-cleaning.  I have been in my dining room for 3 days removing everything from every shelf, the hutch and any place I squeeeeze something into to do a little Spring cleaning.

Just took a few minutes to snap a few photos and I'll be back in to finish what I started, yet another thing I am trying to improve LOL!!

My mom had the most lovely pair of roosters-not too large, not too small, with lovely color and detail, probably c. 1940s-and your pair of roosters are the closest to what I've seen that look like hers. Mom gave them away years ago. Now that she's gone I regret not asking her more about her little trinkets that she obviously loved at the time. I recently got into rooster collecting-but because of budget and not wanting to be on rooster overload, I have a great spoon rest, plate and antique cup and saucer. Rooster collectors are special, don't you think?
Thanks for sharing your photos.
