Collector's Notes
The Royal House Gifts stamp ties this kitchen piece directly to Owosso, Michigan. The rooster shape and warm wood finish fit the country kitchen decorating style popular in the late 20th century.
The previous owner's 10 cent notation remains underneath rather than on the display side, a small bit of use history that stays with the piece.
