Hand-carved Wooden Whimsey Linked Ball cup with rings and I presume date from

and I presume date from the 1950s or so

there is just one broken bit off the the end of one of the clay weights

It makes me think of an illustration in a French or Spanish text book used for teaching vocabulary

I have no idea

Hand-carved Wooden Whimsey Linked Ball cup with rings and I presume date fromJust a super sweet old carved whimsy, 5 inches long, with a bit of weight, making it useful atop a stack of papers, but also great just hung from a nail on the wall. I especially love the carving marks on the round sides of the ball, reminding one of how much effort it would take to make one of these! 5" long x 1 3 4" wide and deep. Very good condition. I am not certain the age on this but know that it was held in a family estate for many years;
