Vintage WMF Art Deco Silver Plated Rattle/Toy with Dog Charm

Rare find! Art Deco silver plated rattle in good vintage condition. This piece dates between 1935-50. It is a European piece whose dog charm served as a rattle with its hollow belly filled with pellets or bells. The ring was used as a handle for the baby to hold or chew on. Note: This is a unique and rare item whose worth now lies in being an heirloom or as collectable and/or display piece. Older silver can tarnish, so modern toy safety regulations prohibit use with infants. This piece cleaned up beautifully with a little silver polish. See pictures and video. Driveway pickup
