Antique Folk Art Toy Bird Articulated 19th century Unusual Form?




A form of an early folk art toy I am not familiar with.  It has the look and feel of a squeak toy, but in this case the bird is wired to pick his head up...essentially a very early example of the "pecking chicken" toy.  Paper base is covered with a primitive printed wallpaper of the time.  Any help identifying would be great!  This was a manufactured object (while OLD) and likely other than embellishments, not one of a kind.
