Deep mahogany feathers and warm russet coloring give this vintage Gurley turkey candle an earthy autumn palette. White painted accents punctuate the broad tail fan, while a rose-crimson wattle stands out against its dark face and layered breast feathers.
Approximately 4.25 inches tall, this single flat-back figure fits comfortably into a cupboard display, kitchen shelf arrangement, or Thanksgiving centerpiece. Its restrained colors complement brown transferware, cream stoneware, and natural wood. An attached rectangular price sticker marked “190 BYA 25¢” adds another detail to explore, making this unburned turkey an inviting choice for collectors who appreciate the small traces of an object’s retail past.
