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.

That is a beautiful tree! and dog!! like! like!

Thanks for the explanation Rob, something new to add to my want list!

Mike, that dog is fake. That is an impossible pose!! Have you trained him to do that on command?

@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.
