A LITTLE TURKEY TALK
Antique dealer friends have helped Enid build a trove of holiday
collectibles for more than 20 years. “They tell me these precious turkeys
are few and far between and highly sought after,” she says. Still, she has
amassed about 100 of the rare, hand-painted birds, with most obtained from
dealers who shop in Europe or through high-end specialty auctions. Enid is
always interested in adding to her collection. You can reach her at P.O. Box
221212, Carmel, CA 93922.
SMALL PACKAGES
(e) The trio of turkeys, shows some of
the
whimsical variations in Enid’s collection. These little containers
are far
sweeter than the candy that originally came inside. They range
in size from
about 31⁄2 to 5 inches high. (f) Instead
of candy, this favor holds six tiny,
1-inch blocks that can be arranged
in different farmyard scenes. It’s made of
cardboard, not papier-mâché,
but Enid treasures it all the same because of its
“incredible
lithography.”
IN THE DETAILS
(g) This chubby tom,
stands on
lead feet, as do most of Enid’s turkeys. (h)
The 3-inch container,
is topped with three finely detailed birds.
