I Hate Collectibles

[Chickie'sMomaInNH]

heh, my mom is a collector of ceramic chicken/rooster stuff. everywhere you turn around in her house you could knock one off a shelf! it's gotten so bad some don't make it past her yardsale table in the garage now. she has specific instructions to not sell the ones in the house cheaply since they are mostly Maddux & other 'collectible' types she says are worth more money.

Quick Bay, get Chickies moms address!

 

[Chickie'sMomaInNH]

i'd gladly give it to you! i wouldn't need to get her a Christmas present this year!

They are very proud of their gift and will look to see how you display it when they visit. Are they in your kitchen often ? Sorry

 

[Nyboy]

Bet you could sell the set on BYC. Use the money for chicken feed. make sure you charge enough for postage

PS. small hen you dont know what for most likely covered sugar bowl

 

[Nyboy]

At lest you don't need to water with a eyedropper

Yeah, @Nyboy I was thinking about you when I looked in the box. The hen you think might be a sugar bowl is smaller than the salt and pepper shakers. Look at the picture again, it's between the them.

And yes, they come over often so I can't make it just disappear or I'd send it to @Chickie'sMomaInNH in a rooster crowing minute. Haha, I bet your Mom doesn't have one that looks like this!

never noticed one in a basket at her house but most of her collection is roosters. she has a few salt & pepper shakers too. but i know she doesn't have napkin rings. i've told her i have dibs on one of the roosters in her collection-a black one that reminds me of my cochin Sunny.

those small bowls are salt cellars. not sure why you would use one if you already have a shaker though.

Salt shakers are for every day. Salt cellars are for when you have fancy company
