In honor of Vintage Thingies Thursday over at Colorado Lady, here are some shots of the explosion of poultry that happens every November on our mantel.
My favorite is the roasted one in the first photo ~ a gift from my sister Kathy. Which one do you like the best?

I like the funky little pine cone guy!
Hi Pam, love all your turkeys, yep, I'm the same, poultry everywhere. I was reading Trash's comments a minute ago, and you mentioned your Dad was on the USS Essex. small world, my Daddy was also, in the Korean War, he was a gunner, and had some incredible stories. He's been gone 10 years this Thanksgiving. Thanks for the remembrance.
Blessings,
Debra
Wonderful collection! I think my fave is the Gurley pilgrims - my mom always had Gurleys out for the holidays!
I love all your turkeys, and like you..my favorite is the roasted one in it's little pan. I've never seen one like it before. Happy VTT..have a lovely day.
Besides the one that will be on the table carved, I'd have to pick the beaded one. Love beaded things!
Debbie
I have to admit that when I first saw your title ``vintage turkey`` I thought, mon dieu, are we talking leftoevers?
However you have a lovely collection after all.

I have a bunch of turkey salt & pepper shakers so I like those, but my favorite is the plate.
LOL. Thanks for the vintage turkey shot. I think merchandising forget there is a holiday between Halloween & Christmas!
Your "poultry explosion" makes me giddy! :+) The turkey in the pan is so cute! I love Thanksgiving xoxoxo
ooooh i LOVE the plate!
Everything is precious, but I have a set of pilgrim candles like that. My Mom gave them to me when I was in my own (married) home. I never burned them...and still have them!
Great collection! After seeing yours, I think I need more. My favorite would be that gorgeous plate. Gobble Gobble!
Happy VTT!

THe roast turkey is cute but the plate is beautiful.
Turkey in the pan but I also love the little ear of corn behind it!
Have a great weekend!
Well, I love them all, but I adore that plate...you would think in all my looking I would have found one within my budget....but not yet! I too like the one in the first picture - the roasted one....makes me hungry! Have a great VTT!
Oh my! That's a lot of turkeys!
I think the collective noun for turkeys should be 'explosion' in your honour.
You know, "a school of fish", "an unkindness of ravens" and "an explosion of turkeys"!
More turkeys ^_^ awesome collection.
Mine is here My Life’s Photo
Very cute!! Love the little pilgrims.

My niece's dad raises turkeys and for a REAL turkey explosion, just go into one of their three barns. Wall-to-wall gobblers!!! I think your display is wonderful--I've visited 3 blogs just this morning who are featuring those little Thanksgiving people candles (of course Laurie, being Laurie, has a HUGE number of them!)--I'm sure we had them, too, once upon a time.
I love the roast too. What a great collection. Reminds me to get out my Turkey teacups and saucers. I like the plate best I think! But its hard to choose.

Hey, girl! The roasted one IS such a sweetie! I have to say, though, that I think I have a secret crush on turkey plates and platters. GOBBLE GOBBLE!
Hugs, Betty :)
ps .. like you and Debra, my dad was also in Korea ... Marines ... Chosin Resevoir ... he depended on air and ship support ... came home on a naval hospital ship, but most of his unit didn't make it back. Our dads did so much for so many ... glad I still have mine to pester!
gobble, gobble, gobble.. hehehe.. so many turkeys and I like them all.. and I can only think roasted turkey with cranberry sauce and potato salads.. yummmy!.. have a good weekend!
love all those turkeys.. very fun!!

LMAO...I haven't commented on your blog in some time (please forgive me!) but I CANNOT resist saying something about the cooked turkey figurine among the other "live" ones.
I was SO tickled over this from your mantel display pictures last year. It's just so fits with my (dark) humor and I love that it's sitting up there scaring the other turkeys.
Happy Thanksgiving, Pam! =c)
