Early 20th Century Turned Handle Noisemaker in Glorious Original Paint","description":"\u003cp\u003eA rare find. This is a old slapstick, made to generate what sounds like a loud slap when stuck against the hand (it also works banged against other things!)--and yes, slapstick comedy took its name from slatted noisemakers just like this. In its glorious original polychrome-stripes on one side, solid red on the other, and with the four slats painted yellow from the sides. Perhaps fraternal--clearly made to be seen as well as heard. With black painted turned handle, a delight to hold and use.  C. early 20th century I believe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e 18\" l x 1 3\/8\" w x 1 116\" d. Beautiful, all original condition. A bit of darkening to the red paint in a couple of spots, not at all detracting. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"critical EYE Finds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48728175509758,"sku":null,"price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/5022\/1382\/files\/IMG_2755_5f490bc1-7a69-488f-bfcc-72a2e671aa82.png?v=1786751960","url":"https:\/\/www.criticaleyefinds.com\/products\/slapstick-c-early-20th-century-turned-handle-noisemaker-in-glorious-original-paint","provider":"critical EYE Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
