SPECIAL SHOW: A FLOCK OF BIRDS (and some other whimseys)

Recently, we were asked to handle a very special collection of Iroquois whimseys.

The Collier collection of whimseys is notable for the extremely high quality of the pieces, especially the birds. This is without question one of the largest and best assemblages of Iroquois whimsey birds in private hands, and represents a unique opportunity for collectors to pick and choose from an incomparable selection.

By seeing so many birds together at one time, it is easier to appreciate the variations in wing and tail beading, perch design, and bead and fabric colors. This collection is also quite strong in mini birds, which are more difficult to find than their full-size compatriots.

At Turkey Mountain Traders, our previous record for birds in inventory at one time had been ten. As you can see, we've beaten that mark quite easily. It is the largest and finest group of birds any of us are likely to see, and we are proud to be able to offer them to you. There are others in the collection as well, so if you are looking for a particular color, size or shape, let us know and we will check to see if we have something that would work.

All items are sold on a first come, first served basis, so if you are interested in an item, please call or email as soon as possible. If you have questions about a specific piece, please give us a call at (480) 423-8777.
