Pitter patter, my little heart! Those crabs--swoon!

I expect it was new, or at least newish, at the presentation date of 1887.

Also, you have solved a mystery of mine! One of those crabs is identical to a crab on an illegibly marked perfume bottle of mine, which means my perfume is by Whiting. THANK YOU!

This is the same crab as the one on your fork next to the turtle, right?
