Rare Tiffany & Co. 14k Gold and Mother of Pearl Baby Rattle/Teether/Whistle

Category
Other
Condition
Good
Description

I am an antique dealer/collector in New York's' Hudson Valley. Although I do not usually get the opportunity to trade in Tiffany & Co wares, I was privileged enough to acquire an amazing piece at the bottom of a recent bulk antique costume-jewellery purchase. I am in possession of a Tiffany & Co 14k Gold & Mother of Pearl Baby Rattle/Teether/Whistle. The over-all length is 4 1/8" . The Mother of Pearl teether (1 7/16" diameter X 1/4" thick) is completely intact and snugly engaged in the handle, secured with a 14k pin. Each bell (5/8" diameter X 3/8" thick) is individually stamped with "Tiffany & Co" and "14k" marks. The handle (3 1/8" long ) also serves as a whistle, with three exhaust holes on either side of the upper portion and the mouthpiece at the bottom. There are some scratches and a small dent on the handle. An inscription on the handle reads: "To Davey-" on one side and "Uncle Jascha" on the other (My own research has led me to believe that this piece may have been a gift from the great Jascha Heifetz to one of his two younger sisters' many children).

Thus far, I have not found a single dealer in my area who has seen it's equal; even in a lesser metal, but everyone is more than happy to expound conjectures of origin.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Thank you for your time

Powder Horn?

Category
General Antiques and Collectibles
Condition
Fair
Description

I received this item from my mother-in-law, but neither one of us knows what it is. I feel it may be an old powder horn (holder). It appears that it is made of copper or brass and decorated with small flat-head tacks. On the back, there is a piece of rope stretched between two metal loops, and it also has a small hook-type thing on the side. It could also have a leather covering.
