1. Hi! I think it would help to narrow your search if you can determine the maker by the information/marks on the bottom. Otherwise it will be a blind search without the company, date, and/or country of origin. You could try and upload an image and post it here so someone can perhaps help you identify its roots:) If you'd prefer not, I would start with Ebay. It's a revolving and constant source of information. And I included a reference for porcelain marks as well as other sites below. I hope that this helps! 205 rooster figurines on Ebay: http://search.ebay.com/ROOSTER-FIGURINES_W0QQcatrefZC6QQdfspZ1QQfposZ92677QQfromZR10QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1QQfsqZROOSTERQ20FIGURINESQQftrtZ1QQftrvZ1QQitemidZ260205901331QQitemsiteidZ0QQitemstateZ1QQsabfmtsZ1QQsacatZQ2d1QQsadisZ200QQsaobfmtsZinsifQQsargnZQ2d1QQsaslcZ2QQsbrftogZ1QQsibeleafcatZ45488QQsofocusZunknown More: http://www.tias.com/7345/InventoryPage/1894267/1.html Pottery & Porcelain marks: http://www.oldandsold.com/pottery/germany1.shtml Links to more sites: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=antique+rooster+figurines&btnG=Google+Search http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=antique+rooster+figurines&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi
