Lovely Old Ball in Cage Whimsy Rattle with Fancy Underside leg the bottom of this basketDefinitely an old one, with a beautiful warm patina to the pine, and lovely detailing to the underside of the base, which makes it seem as if it could function as a butter stamp as well! The faceted top makes a perfect handle for waving out around as a rattle, and feels great in the hand. Very nice. 5 t x 1 1 8 wide and deep and in great, I would guess antique, condition.
