RUG SHOW ~ OLDIES BUT GOODIES

Will start off with a beautiful American Eagle rug.  Sadly I couldn't find a date or dimensions but safe to say it is old.  That second star is hard to see at first.
I like this rug below too, love the earthy colors; again no age or dimensions provided.
Noticed the next rug had all the symbols of being a wedding rug ~ a bouquet border, love birds surrounded by a ring (circle) and heart which joins them together.  No age but measures 37 x 44.
When I see 
pinwheels, it always reminds me of my youth walking on the boardwalk of Rehoboth Beach, DE.   Rug dated late 19th to early 20th century (19.5 x 35).
A pair of ducks dated 1900 (26.5 x 48).  Am wondering if those are 4 pots in the corners and if the designer/hooker decided to get a little artsy with the weaving in and out of color with border.  
Perhaps a beloved hunting dog, hooked early 20th century measuring 24 x 43.
What's a rug show without a horse?  If I'd drawn and hooked it, the rectangle would be horizontal not vertical; and the horse bigger to fill up the space.
A lot of activity going on in the village, but don't think it is old.  
And a cat rug for good measure.  No information on this one either.
Happy day to everyone.  Will do a little outside work in the morning then make a couple minor changes to my eagle rug.
