Robert’s Old Tin Rattle & Horn Combo vintage Britains figure both relating to the studyI've seen just a couple other rattles like this over time (two, exactly), so there must have been someone who made them, but this is the first I've seen with a wooden mouthpiece on at the end of the handle, making me realize it's a horn as well as a rattle. )And, indeed, it produces a loud honk like a kazoo! Two marbles inside the tin body give it the rattle a nice tone too. Once it was the property of a Robert, who wrote his name on the mouthpiece.
