    Description

    This is an antique, sterling silver, baby whistle and rattle, with a mother-of-pearl teether (unless you consider this side the handle).  The sterling silver part contains a nice design, which looks either like a turkey or a flower, depending on how you view it.  There are 2 small bells hanging from loops at each side of the whistle.  There is a small loop attached to the bottom of the whistle, through which you can attach a string or chain.  The bottom reads "sterling .925".  I do not see any maker's marks. Just the whistle part measures 1-1/2" long x 5/16" thick x 1-1/4" wide (if you count the bell loops).  Each bell is only about 1/4" diameter.
    The mother-of-pearl portion extends from the end of the whistle/rattle and measures 1-1/2" long x 3/4" wide x 1/8" thick.  This is in nice condition.
    The total item measures 3-1/4" long and is in nice condition!  Everything works (yes, I did try the whistle) and the rattle works too (because I played with it...).
    I have tried to describe any issues with this item as much as possible.  I can post additional photos upon request and will try to answer any questions you might have that weren't addressed above.  If you want to purchase more than one item, let me know and I will wait until your purchases are complete, then I will send a single invoice with one shipping charge.
