Painted Folk Art Sheet Metal Rooster

Here is a swell body, painted, sheet metal rooster with a great look. He is 22" wide and 20" tall in the turned and painted wooden stand.

The construction is remarkable. The two sheet metal sides were first cut and shaped and then joined using small tabs on the exterior of one side, which were bent over the other side - much like the paper dolls of yesteryear. See the photos for this detail.

It is painted in warm yellow with red accents. It is marked "LEONCOTE" or LOONCOT" on the lower left side. See the detailed photo of the mark. We found this in New York but believe it originated in Quebec.

The surface is original with no overpainting. There are some minor losses to the paint.
