Iron Folk Art Woodpecker Door Knocker planter saucer my gut says maybe 1860s-70s

my gut says maybe 1860s-70s or so

I have to think this was based on a very specific barn

Iron Folk Art Woodpecker Door Knocker planter saucer my gut says maybe 1860s-70sI've eyed and almost purchased a few different woodpecker shaped knockers, but it's this one that ultimately sold me, in no small part because it's such a satisfying one to use, with the gold painted, square ended beak of the bird knocking against the iron plate with a really good clap, and with its tail then equally satisfyingly knocking against the plate in the opposite direction. Easily mounted to a wall via holes at either end of the iron plate,
