Old Carved Air Blown Spinner (With Secret Compartment) metal grasshopper pin as part of a groupingA charmer of a little thing, with two blow holes at one end which, when given breath, set the spinner at the other end turning, very fast, which I must say is quite rewarding! This little whimsy also functions as a box, with a slide top on one side opening to a little compartment, in which one might hide some tiny thing. Plus a great, irregular pattern of small hand forged nails and a terrific dry wood patina. Very sweet. 3 3 8" l x 1 3 16" w x 1 1 6"
