Lovely Pine Whimsy Rattle with Two Balls in Rounded Cage welded sculpture that this drawing dates toI continue to search hard to bring good whimsies to you, and here's my whimsy find of the week: an unusual rattle, carved in the round, with nice long cage at the center holding two balls inside its six "bars", and then two Cheerio like rattles at either end. Nicely done, with a nice warm dry patina, lovely. 8 3 4" l x 1" d. Very good condition, I might guess 2nd quarter 20th century.
