declaration
The Fancy Fox has clarified that the Georgian Silver & Red Coral Baby Rattle, Elizabeth Morley (LA320627) is genuinely of the period declared with the date/period of manufacture being 1800
condition
Condition is very good with no damage, dents or repairs to the main body of the rattle. A few of the bells are a bit misshapen with some small associated tears from the holes as a result. They are also a bit tarnished. The engraved decoration is nice, the hallmarks are reasonable clear bar the king's head as mentioned. There is one bell missing, the others appear original. The teether has been re-attached with traces of glue visible on close inspection. The whistle doesn't appear to work.
