Interesting Early Robin Snipe
 
This bird has deeply carved wing and shoulder lines with an elaborate feather pattern carved into the back & tail. Quite a unique bird! Unusual species by an unknown maker, most like Massachusetts.
 
One glass eye is missing. There is a small chip from end of bill and some early in-use touch-up to the base of bird around the stick hole and toward the tail.
 
Measures 8.5" long.
