German Blue and Orange Tin Toy Windmill vintage horn folding knife My guess would be that

My guess would be that it was made by a student at the school

almost all Canadian (morels carved from deer antler seem to be a bit of a thing)

It is stamped "47" on its unglazed bottom

and I think it's a pretty great one to have galloping across the wall

it is all about the combination of form and surface

German Blue and Orange Tin Toy Windmill vintage horn folding knife My guess would be thatJust a sweet little tin toy windmill, likely from an old model train set. I love the blue and orange color scheme, and the flower like form of the rotor, In warmer weather might set it on the windowsill or near a fan to set it cheerfully spinning. Stamped made in Germany on the underside of the gray base. A little light rusting but overall great condition. About 5" tall (I need to double check exact dimensions and will update!)
