This is a hard to find Bird or Chicken Waterer or Feeder from 1885 and the W. 6 1/2" long x 6 5/8" diameter and it is very well designed and made and rests on two feet in the back..
Wobbles a bit but rests still tilted to either side. This nice primitive has two doves that decorate the front of the feeder and overall in decent shape for it's age with the exception of a chip on the side in front where the birds feed from which would be an easy fix if you were so inclined or even coloring it the same color would help cover it if it is a distraction. The white spot above that is some kind of calcium and I have scraped most of it off since taking the photos.
