or is it just an awesome red rooster statue?

Thanks for the comment. Yes, just as Victor had the dog and Talk-O-Phone had the parrot, Pathé had the rooster or La Cock. (Edison wouldn't have any animal represent is products. He had a chance to obtain Nipper, but settled for the Old Couple.) Actually, there are two variations of the large rooster and also a much smaller version about 4" tall.

Here's my real life Nipper (his name is Oreo) waiting for Santa to put his present under the tree. :D

@AudioAntique:
Rob, What is your source about Edison having had a chance to obtain Nipper? I've been at this a long time and have never heard about it.
