Selling this item for a friend of mine.  Here is the story of how he got it:  While visiting Menomonie Wisconson in 2006, he did some repairs at a friend's house around Thanksgiving.  They had this turkey out as a decoration and my friend told to the owner that he really liked it.  It was found under the leaves in the back yard when the house was purchased.  The back yard extended out into the forest area.  When my friend left, the owner gave it to him as a gift.  Months later, the owner called and told my friend that he saw one just like it on The Antique Road show which was appraised at $40,000. The Turkey is beautifully constructed of cast metal and is made with several joining pieces.  They all fit together perfectly.  The turkey stands apprximately 18" tall to the top of the tail feathers.  It measures 16" wide and weighs approx 4 pounds.  We are accepting offers on this with the sale going to the highest offer received.  Please let me know if you have any questions.
