No way to loose track of one's spools or scissors with this guy around--though I think even if one hasn't sewed a stitch in one's life, the fantastic old paint on this rooster makes him worthy of a proud spot on the shelf (and surely there are other things to stick on the posts around the base and through his neck!)

9 1/2" l x 10 3/4" t x 4 1/4" w. Super sturdy structurally; painted on both sides with some paint loss as obvious, all to the good I think and not actively chipping off now. Comes as found with a few spools of thread if you'd like them. (Clearly he's built for scissors a bit smaller than the large ones I photographed him with, though holds them fine!)
