This one from a dealer in Pennsylvania who always brings a wonderful trove to Brimfield. Earlier 20th century I believe, with a really nice shape to the links, satisfying carve marks all over (I really like it when one can feel the long labor of whittling that ball into round) , and a nice warm dry patina. With graphite marks still visible at the corners of the cage, which served as guides for the carving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e13\" l (cage 1 3\/4\" l). Very good condition, with one hairline split to one link, which took me a while to notice, and takes me a while to find when looking for it. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"critical EYE Finds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48244849934590,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/5022\/1382\/files\/IMG_4265_12e49224-9bb5-4578-b912-8f0349258644.jpg?v=1779131586","url":"https:\/\/www.criticaleyefinds.com\/products\/ball-in-cage-on-chain-old-folk-art-whimsy-carving-1","provider":"critical EYE Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
