Polly Posts: 1970 Registered: Nov 2004	posted 11-02-2017 11:09 AM Yes, Shiebler. I thought I had a thread about it before, but I can't seem to find it--though I did post photos in one of the Great Faces threads, so maybe that's what I was remembering. Here's the moon face on the front: Here's the side with the marks--the handle is a whistle (for some reason Autocorrect just changed "whistle" to "whistleblower"): What a thing to give a baby, right? I've seen versions with bells attached. No wonder infant mortality was so high back then, with all those babies dying of fright or choking on bells from their Shiebler rattles! IP: Logged

Paul Lemieux Posts: 1792 Registered: Apr 2000	posted 11-06-2017 11:10 PM Unusual Russian bat pendant, the back is engraved with a date of 1918 and, in Cyrllic, what appears to be the name of a gymnasium in Kiev. Mid-century Japanese bat cufflinks Small Victorian gold, silver, and pearl spider pin 1/2 of a small Kerr 3-dimensional spider clasp or buckle of some kind. (Oddly enough many years ago I had the other half of this buckle and eventually sold it, never imagining I would one day find its mate!! The other half is pictured in slide 32 of my "Collector's Eye" about bug silver). IP: Logged
