Elegant Old (Sailor Made?) Hanging Ball in Cage Whimsy with Very Sharp Point vintage half gross box of pencils the lid fits tightly and

the lid fits tightly and pulls out fairly easily with a little pressure

I love all these old horse headed pieces as a set now

and I swear the intense gazes of those kittens follow one wherever one goes

a really wonderful portrait

The patterns of her dress and border around the rim are terrific too

Elegant Old (Sailor Made?) Hanging Ball in Cage Whimsy with Very Sharp Point vintage half gross box of pencils the lid fits tightly andI have a feeling this whimsy was made by a sailor with the sharply pointed end rather like that of a fid. Whatever the case, an old one, and a beauty, which would quite hold its own on the wall, hanging from one nail. 5 3 16" x 13 16" x 13 16". Very good condition.
