On offer is an unusual and highly collectible EPNS silver-plated babies’ rattle featuring a finely modelled donkey, suspended from its original celluloid teething ring. The donkey is detailed with saddle, harness and textured coat, reflecting the craftsmanship typical of early 20th-century plated nursery items. The teething ring shows extensive bite marks consistent with use, and a hot-pin test has confirmed that the ring is celluloid rather than ivory.

The donkey itself measures approximately 45 mm in length. Condition is good overall, with light wear to the silver plate as expected for age.
