Title: Large wooden cat
Post by: antiguetinker on October 16, 2012, 10:15:16 AM: I picked the large wooden cat at a yard sale, no marking on the bottom, but the bottom does have a hole like it sat on something...Large one measures ~16"??? any one have any ideas?? The smaller wooden cat is an exact duplicate only smaller, no hole on the bottom, but I picked this up at another yard sale a year later, the smaller one looks like a dog or cat liked to chew on though. No mark on that one either. Both are solid wood.
