The Burger Chef Wren House Kit was a promotional item from the 1960s. The one in my collection is in its original plastic package and has never been opened:
If you'd like to see one assembled, check out the wonderful Photo Gallery on JSF's Burger Chef Page.
For more information about Burger Chef birdhouses in the wild, check out this submission to the Mailbag.
Some friends and I were on a road trip in Indiana last month, and we saw one of these birdhouses -- still in use!

There was also a larger "professional" version of these that were put in place as advertising. I can remember someone from Burger Chef coming to our house along US20 between Mishawaka and Elkhart around 1966 and offering my dad $35 if he would let them put it up at the edge of the yard closest to the highway.
