Title: People's Republic of China birdcage
Post by: rustyattic on December 20, 2012, 09:10:18 pm

I think the cage is made out of bamboo.  Does the sticker tell you anything besides that it was made in The People's Republic of China?

The "Peoples Republic of China" came into existence in 1949 to current day.  Prior to that it was known as "Republic of China" 1912 to 1949.

I don't know which way it's supposed to hang.  The smaller way is 29 inchs tall, 17 long and 9.5 wide.

IN my neck-o-the-woods, they sell from $25 to $50 depending on how intricate and "decor" savvy they are!

Thanks for the help.  Maybe I'll get a bird instead of selling it.
