19th century very large sewing bird clamp with gilded canary 10" high

Description: This unusual "Sewing Bird" dates from the second half of the 19th century; it's much larger than most, weighing over 1 pound and featuring a gilded canary. These delightful accessories clamp to a table edge, and the bird's beak opens to hold the fabric, making it easier to embroider. This sewing bird measures 10" high overall; the bird measures 4-1/4" by by 3/4" across the body. The clamp has a dragon or sea monster riding the upper plate and the cup holding the pincushion is made to look like flower petals. The pincushion is about 1-3/4" across and the velvet has faded to a brassy green-gold. The condition is very good overall. The canary is bright gold with very little wear to the finish. The screw-clamp work smoothly and there's no damage to the metal structure. The clamp is a dark silvery aluminum color. The bird's mouth only opens a little, not nearly as wide as smaller sewing birds and the hinge is stiff. No marker's mark that I can find.
