Hi

At first I thought this was a baby's rattle but it is very heavy and now I'm not so sure. I can't find any mark on it and it seems quite primative. It is 5" in length and has metal in each end creating a bell-like sound when it is shaken. ANY IDEAS PLEASE?

Are you sure that its silver?? How heavy is it?

Perhaps it is for an animal to wear so that the owner can find it....

Hi, thanks for replying - no I'm not sure that it is silver as it has no marks and it is heavy far too heavy for a child. An animal is a good thought.
Thanks Pauline
