Post war vintage birdcage decorative clear plastic with a golden hue and flavored with ruby red bird cage accessories. Fully usable, yet rare as few survived the solar melt and rigors of a half century of time passing. Original slide out bright red bottom tray with removable feeder cups, swing, twin perches and red heart mirror, all very fine. Stable though very small age cracks on lower corners, unaffecting use or display. As canaries became replaced by parakeets, budgies and cockatiels in the late 1940's Beco Industries made this and several other decorative cages in this style.
Beco All Plastic Bird Cage was the trade name for pet products made by Bernard Edward Company Chicago Illinois. Using Monsanto Lustrex Stryenne, this premium pet palace earned the Good Housekeeping seal. Considered more art then utilitarian, the design won the Fashion Academy Gold medal award a postwar honor for modern design. Few have made it to today and especially scarce is the Ruby Red Happy Days bird cage.
