Five Balls in Cage Eight Inch Whimsy, Marion, Ohio, 1966 antique lace sampler 8 3/4" tall x 3

8 3/4" tall x 3 5/8" widest

Stamped China on the underside

while the interior eggs feature hand-drawn banded designs in red and green on unfinished wood

A few tiny dings and rough spots but overall terrific condition

I think the perfect thing to frame and hang in bathroom to contemplate

Five Balls in Cage Eight Inch Whimsy, Marion, Ohio, 1966 antique lace sampler 8 3/4" tall x 3I love that the maker of this whimsy used the balls not only to sign it (ELD) and date it (1966), but also to note the site of its making, which appears to be Gran Camp Gorge (noted on one ball), Marion Ohio (on another)!
