I have found mention of a Morning Star Stove Manufacturing Company established in 1918 in Grand Rapids Michigan

and I believe it was most likely made by a Napoleonic prisoner of war while in captivity

Crazy Giant Carved Cicada with Cast Brass Legs brass patina I have found mention ofThis crazy thing. I couldn't resist it, and since cicadas are symbols of personal renewal and transformation, surely a giant cicada must emit powerful positive energy! The body was hand carved, and the legs appear to be cast brass, connected to the body by small posts aided by glue, which is visible in spots. Seems to me this one would make a pretty unforgettable gift, especially for someone in a period of transition! 10 3 8" long; 6 1 2" across at
