Along with the pig that my friend gave me the other night, she also gave me this interesting wooden cat ball. It has 3 intricately carved and painted frisky kitties on it.
While taking pics, I noticed a name and date painted on it, so I Googled it. The artist had a whole line of these folk art wooden pull toys back in the 80s and 90s. They all came with a wooden cart. This one originally came with a cart with carved wooden balls of yarn for wheels.
Looking at the various carts online, it appears that the wheels on the cart might have rotated the ball so that you could see the carvings on the other side. I'll have to see what I can come up with for appropriately displaying this.
