Birds, Birds and More Birds
Birds were a popular Gerold item. They came in many shapes and colors; some were white, some were matte, and some were painted with bright colors.
At one point I acquired a European bird book thinking I would be able to identify the species of bird. However, it quickly became obvious there was a lot of "Artistic License" allowed.
This is going to be a large category that will probably continue onto multiple pages. The birds were done in great variety and they are still very affordable, so it is easy to collect many of them. I will need to find a good sub-categories that facilitate the identification process.

Sometimes multiple figurines can be combined to make an interesting display. They have more visual impact when they are grouped like this. |
