VERY EARLY CHILDS TIN RATTLE

CIVIL WAR ERA ~ c 1860

This fabulous very old tin rattle and whistle is superb.  During the mid 1800's these were a common rattle and whistle toy.  5 3/8 inches long.

The rattle is embellished with rolled designs around the barrel drum.  The rattle still rings well with the original seeds or pellets inside. A remarkable piece of American history ! 

This example has survived in great condition with no bending.
