Vintage Rattle, Silverplate Teddy BEAR Collectible Baby Dumbbell Rattle (RF883) - $20 - (Olympia, WA)
Vintage silverplate dumbbell shaped baby rattle. Both sides of the rattle have a creepy smiling teddy bear figure, and the rattle noise is significantly louder than any rattle I've ever heard. This rattle probably would have given my babies a heart attack. Nevertheless, it is an unquestionably fascinating and unusual collectible item. It measures about 4-1/2" in length. The round ends are approximately 2" in diameter. There are some dings and mild dents to the rattle in some places, particularly along the rims of the ends. I would not consider these to be severe or distracting, but please inspect pictures carefully and decide for yourself. The silverplate has tarnished, so a gentle polish will be needed to restore shine.
