12 Inch 19th Century Six Ball in Cage Painted Pine Whimsy with Rich Patina antique book I love love love this

I love love love this little thing-- a tiny treen apple with a 36+ inch cloth measuring tape inside

and of course with those diamond and shield shaped cutouts all around

I'd love to see them stay together so am listing as a pair

with pedals powering the rear wheel rather than the front one--an innovation of the 1880s

12 Inch 19th Century Six Ball in Cage Painted Pine Whimsy with Rich Patina antique book I love love love thisHard to tell the scale here but this is a large one a foot long and an old one, 19th century I believe, with remnants of original dry red paint. The six balls inside are fairly small for the "cage" meaning that they naturally land in a staggered way, as show in first several photos, which I really love. Terrific old patina, substantial presence, nice both stood on end and laid horizontal. 12" x 2 1 8" x 2 1 8". Very good antique condition, no losses,
