Satisfying Little Thin Walled Tiered Ball in Cage Whimsy life savers I assume the rope wrapped

I assume the rope wrapped around it was indeed once used to keep it from venturing too far away when floated in a pond or lake--and it does appear as if it may have seen some choppy waters

perhaps too wise to take the bait

Satisfying Little Thin Walled Tiered Ball in Cage Whimsy life savers I assume the rope wrapped(Sorry, I forgot to shoot individually; it is the unpainted small one in group shots!) Not an especially old one, but I really love the tiered geometry of this little whimsy, looking kind of like a chair with a roof. Good from every angle and really nice as part of a grouping with a few other linear sorts of things. Approx 4 1 2" t x 1 1 4" wide x 1" deep. Good vintage condition.
