Product information
Unusual & charming Italian Silver (800) shell-shaped baby rattle.
Circa 1950s/60s ?
Clearly marked 800 Silver
It is hollow, and filled with little beads that tinkle when shaken. and has a ring to attach to a toy or ribbon. Would also make a lovely pendant.
NB: interesting snippet. The idiom "born with a silver spoon in his/her mouth" originates from a Victorian practice. Because silver has renowned antibacterial, antimicrobial qualities, wealthy families would put a silver spoon in a baby's mouth to prevent thrush- or so urban legend goes :)
In very good condition, no tears. a dent on one side, which is clear in the photos.
Weight: 6 grms
length: 5.5cm (ring to bottom) Width: 5cm
