Vintage Polly Chimes Baby Rattle.
A wonderful baby item that is over 70 years old and has survived in near perfect condition. This cute rattle is a Polly Chimes by Alexander & Co, circa 1950. The blue cylinder mimics a cage and has a colorful parrot that rattles. Around the bottom edge is a series of lambs running in a meadow. There is a cream color celluloid handle and a blue carry ring with pink accents. The coloring lends itself to either a boy or girl. The rattle was used and does have a slight indent along a seam where the lambs are. It is not very noticeable. I felt it before I saw it. Other than that, it looks great and sounds great. It measures about 7 1/2” long and approximately 2 1/4” wide. It’s a beautiful collectible or would make a lovely gift.
