Up for sale is a gorgeous, early 20th-century antique baby rattle crafted by the renowned American silversmith firm, Webster Company (North Attleboro, MA). This highly collectible piece features a beautifully detailed, embossed sterling silver bell attached to a genuine, carved mother-of-pearl teething ring.
Design & Hallmark Details:
• The Motif: Features the beloved "This Little Piggy" nursery rhyme. This side crisply depicts the classic "piggy that stayed home" sitting upright in a high chair.
• The Maker's Mark: The reverse side of the bell cap and the attaching sterling loop are both clearly stamped "STERLING" alongside the authentic Webster Co. hallmark (a stylized "W" with an arrow passing horizontally through the center).
Condition Report:
• Silver Bell: Excellent antique condition with beautiful natural patina. The embossed nursery scene is very crisp with minimal wear to the raised details. There are minor, expected surface micro-scratches from age and gentle handling, but no major dents or seam splits.
• Mother-of-Pearl Ring: The ring is intact and structurally sound. It showcases a beautiful, luminous iridescent sheen. No deep chips or cracks.
• Please review all high-resolution photos carefully as they serve as the definitive description of the item's condition.
