12 Inch 19th Century Six Ball in Cage Painted Pine Whimsy with Rich Patina antique book with pedals powering the rear

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

and I'm glad it did

with a terrific patina to the bowl

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

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

12 Inch 19th Century Six Ball in Cage Painted Pine Whimsy with Rich Patina antique book with pedals powering the rearHard 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,
