TB Trading Co.
This vintage TB Trading Co. Thanksgiving Turkey Shelf Sitter (c. 1990s) brings playful country charm to any fall display. Featuring a soft-sculpted body, extra-long dangling legs, and a beautifully padded patchwork quilt-style tail, this folk-art turkey is perfect for dressing up mantels, shelves, entryway tables, hutches, or festive fall vignettes.
Handcrafted in a cozy palette of pumpkin orange, barn red, deep navy, olive green, mustard gold, and quilt-block prints, this turkey has a whimsical personality — complete with a soft plush beak, stitched eyes, mixed-print overalls, and a floppy black fabric hat. Measures approx. 20” long (legs extended) and 12–13” tall in seated position, weighing 9.8 oz.
A perfect accent for Thanksgiving, fall farmhouse décor, cottage-style decorating, or collectors of handmade 1990s seasonal plush décor.
TB Trading Co. was known throughout the late 1980s–1990s for producing handcrafted folk-art seasonal décor, often inspired by quilting traditions and American country primitives. Their plush shelf sitters, especially turkeys and scarecrows, were extremely popular across gift shops, craft fairs, and country-home boutiques. These items embody the nostalgic era of early country décor, mixing quilting patterns, calico prints, and whimsical character design. Today, TB Trading Co. plush pieces have become collectible favorites for those curating warm, homespun Thanksgiving décor or vintage fall farmhouse displays.
