The Owl Has Landed :) !

We have been collecting owls for a few years now, but I have never seen one like this guy until I was browsing on ebay a couple of months ago. He is a total one off ( at least I hope he is a he :) and a lot bigger than what I thought he was when I bought him !  This owl stands about 7 - 8 inches tall, and whoever made him had the painstaking task of cutting sheets of metal into very thin strips and then moulding the owl into the shape you see here ! We love him ! I very carefully brought him back from the US on my last trip, and he now has pride of place on our hall window ledge. Not sure how he is but we think it is either the 1950's or 1960's.
