Nicely Carved Old Rattle Whimsy ink sketch and which I think may

and which I think may just be a few stray fibers

Some toning/stains as evident and as documented in detail photos

papered on the back and wired for hanging

and really sweet

Nicely Carved Old Rattle Whimsy ink sketch and which I think mayFound yesterday in New Hampshire, I'm sure this old whimsy was made as a gift for a child, with two carved rings at center, and perhaps a good one for teething too! I love the hourglass shape and the detail at one end with a ring hat looks like a bolt around a screw. With nice age to it, unlike another I've seen and just a nice little object. 2 5 8" x 13 16" and in very good condition, nice dry wood patina, earlyish 20th c. I would guess.
