Unknown brand Canadian or Sandhill Crane

I found something special on ebay Germany a few weeks ago, and for a very small price of course, as you know me, haha.
It was sold as a stork, but i already saw that is was a crane on the pic on ebay.
Now that i have it, it seems to be a Canadian- or Sandhill Crane.
The size is between the 1:32 and 1:24 scale as it seems...
It is not marked with Hong kong or China or so, so it must have a decent brand i guess...
It is made from hardplastic, like Starlux or similar brands, but it is not marked at all, so when somebody has a clue about the brand of this bird, please tell me so!

Very interesting! Of course I don't know anything about the figure! I usually say: "Maybe Willy can help you"! ...but this time I'm not sure!
There are many experts in this forum so it is a question of time....

I don't know what brand it is either, but congratulations he's very nice Willy!!

Thank you Rogerio and Harriet!

Beautifull drawing again(moose) Harriet!

Thank you Willy!

Nice figure and great find, congratulations!

Maybe we could ask Willy ?

Congratulation , never saw this bird, it is a mistery for me

It is beauuutyful Willy
Congratulations

Of course I do not know the brand, but that doesn`t mean a lot

I think there are very few cranes on the market, - is that right ?
Lots of storks, flamingoes, herons, but not many cranes

Thanks you Phil, Christophe and Susanne!

Yeah Christophe, we always could ask old man Willy, haha.
But i guess he doesn't have a clue this time, although the brand New Ray came through my mind, but i am not an expert in USA models...

You are right Susanne, not many cranes in the business, and that is why this model immediatly struck my (sharp) eye for rare models or animals.
You can find very good stuff in the section animal models on e-bay sometimes, without searching for certain brands...

Congrats Willy, it's beautiful

I nice crane- and i have the crane too. But not in a so good condition!

Nice tiny crane,Willy! Really lovely! A mystery it seems...

Well Andreas, that is good news in the fact that you have him to, but now is the question where it came from, and which manufacturer did make it...

Thank you Mihnea, yes, it is nice indeed, it has no more detail then it needs...

Here is my crane and a other bird of this unknown brand (i think)

Congratulations Andreas!

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice Andreas, although your model looks the same, the material looks from of softer plastic, mine is made of a quit brittle hard plastic, and one of the legs was even broken when it arrived!
And your model has material between the legs of the model, and mine has its legs free.

The other bird looks like a little egret, or Kuhreiher in German...

Many many thank you!!!!!!!

I think, on the material, it will be a model made in Hong Kong, so around the 1970's...
But there are very fine models from there, and specially the early Hong Kong models(mostly copies from other brands) have the same detail as the original models... :)

I think also its a good copy- but they have too repainted.

Well Andreas, you can always re-paint it yourself again, and make it a nicer model again!

Oh no, if i repaint, then it is not a nicer model. I havent talent.
