COMMENTS: We are pleased to be offering for your consideration a delightful infant girl rattle and teething ring. The rattle is bell shaped and has a soft pink teething disc attached by a rather primitive looking bale. This particular infant rattle with teething disc is not signed or marked. It acid tested as sterling. I feel it is circa late 1930's or early 1940's.
The rattle has developed a lovely aged patina. It has its original clapper and tinkles when shaken. The rattle has a secure bale and the original teething disc is in good estate condition. The rattle is bell shape in form and shows some minor wear which is consistent to the vintage age of this piece.
This timeless rattle would make a wonderful addition to any infant or child's toy collection. Doll Collectors or makers of Reborn Dolls would be wise to add these charming vintage collectibles to their collections. They are precious and would make a lovely complement to their collections.
