Glass Cat (or possibly mouse?!)

(1/6) > >>

Dawn Foley:
I would be very grateful for any help in identifying a glass animal that was given to me by my grandmother. I have no idea how old it is and can find nothing else like it. I have posted some images here:

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Frank:
Possibly Lauscha, but an almost anywhere... 1900s-1930s

Dawn Foley:
Thank you for your reply Frank - I would be very grateful for any suggestions of recommended links to research this further. Unfortunately a high percentage of Google links on Lauscha seem to lead to current day Christmas decorations.

Regards,

~Dawn~

KevinH:
Can we be sure it is glass? Why does it have "rusty looking" markings in many of the joins and particularly in the recesses of the ears and around the eyes? Normal age-dirt on glass does not look so "metallic".

Frank:
It is glass Kev, look at the way the bits go together. I have gathered a few of these old ones and the dirt is typical.
