Nice Old 14 Inch Carved Whimsy Chain man with cap Bern and printed in Switzerland

Bern and printed in Switzerland (they are noted with a "1921 copyright (renewed in 1948)" this is a much rarer

and then a piece of wire through a hole for the horns and a piece of twine for the tail

7 1/8” across at base

I'd guess this old cutout wooden stork head was once attached to a body and lived in a yard or garden somewhere

or a perfect holder for the Victorian calling/compliments cards I just listed

Nice Old 14 Inch Carved Whimsy Chain man with cap Bern and printed in SwitzerlandThis old whittled whimsy chain, carved from one piece of wood, has a lot of character, with squarish links that very much show the hand or blade, rather of its maker. I might hang this one on the wall from one nail at the center with the ends hanging down, as it feels like they want to rattle against each other, ideally in a very old, maybe haunted, house! 14" l x 13 16" w. There is one rough patch on one link, as pictured.
