    This silver baby rattle was picked up at the tip today !!
    It was in a box of books and maps ... it was black when found but it cleaned up like new. Sadly there aren't any hallmarks but im pretty sure its silver possibly from europe , it rattles well from both sides and measures 4" wide x 1 3/4 round .. not sure how old it is or where its from but what a cool find !!
    Comments greatfully recieved ;-)
