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.
