Woodpecker Pull-String Novelty Door Knocker

Description: Item/Description: Mid-to-late 20th-century novelty mechanical door knocker handcrafted from stained oak and painted pine wood in the stylized form of a pileated woodpecker. When the hanging cord with a wooden cylindrical toggle handle is pulled downward, the spring-loaded bird pivots forward to realistically strike its beak against the rectangular wood mounting board backplate.
