Simple and Sweet Old Straight Sided Double Ball in Cage Walnut Whimsy wooden brooch 3" x 3" x 3"A nicely carved old one, walnut I believe, and just the sort one wants to keep on the desk to pick up and watch those balls roll back and forth while thinking about other things.

C. early 20th century I believe, with nice general wear to the edges corners, just as there should be. 3 3 8" x 7 8" x 7 8". Very good condition.
