Lovely 19th Century Walnut Whimsy Rattle with Asymetrical Handle abstract print but I am pretty certain

but I am pretty certain the choice of blue ink for the printing connects it the Union

this one has a wonderfully warm patina

closely matched but with the seams showing

with edge loss to pages and variation to the quality/inking of the woodcut illustrations

and most especially for ones with backgrounds populated with lots of little wooden houses

Lovely 19th Century Walnut Whimsy Rattle with Asymetrical Handle abstract print but I am pretty certainI love these sorts of folk art rattles, and this is a lovely antique example, carved of walnut. And unusual in my experience for having the handle extend down from one side rather than the center. Great form, beautiful wear to the handle, sturdy and substantial, lovely. 7 1 4" x 3 1 8" x 3". Excellent antique condition.
