Has an old Arabia foil label with crown and "Arabia Wartsila Finland". 
Let me know what you think.  Dan

Hi Dan -
   Welcome to the Forum.
   Great bird! - it's a resting or sleeping Kiikkuri - probably made in 1976-1978 - and has nice color. Do you have the history of this bird? How did it come to the USA, and how did you acquire it? Most birds have some interesting history.
   Good luck on the auction.  :)
Tom
