German Papier-mâché Turkey Candy Container Circa 1920

Description

A very realistic and  colorful candy container from Germany in the shape of a turkey. The molded papier-mâché body has been hand painted using realistic colors. The front of the turkey pulls out to reveal a cavity for the candy. The turkey has two lead realistic metal feet and stands upright on its own. The colors are still bright.
Note we have a very similar one about 2" taller for sale in our shop, as well

4 7/8” (12.4 cm) tall x 3 1/8” (7.9 cm) wide x 3” (7.6 cm) deep. Weighs 3.6 oz (100 g)
CONDITION
There is a crack on the body behind the right wing. There is a small paint chip on the lower back tail and on the back of a wing. Paint has also chipped off on his chest. Three toes are missing ends, but the turkey still stands upright, as long as he’s not bumped.
A great turkey to add to a collection of German candy containers. The container is a small hands on sculpture.
