Vintage Cardinal Honey Bear 3 Min Egg Timer - Pie Bird Wannabe

Description

For auction is a vintage ceramic egg timer shaped like a Honey bear.  Removable glass egg timer drops in his mouth and makes this bear appear to be drinking out of his milk bottle...  3 minute egg or telephone call timer was for years mistakenly identified as the Howling Bear Pie Bird.
In excellent condition, having no chips, flakes, hairlines, or repairs.  Bear alone measures approx. 4" tall without Cardinal China markings, but guaranteed (as this was a book piece - above).  It's heavy, characteristic of American Made Pottery in the past.
