Turtle Tchotchke Tuesday

A bell for summoning the butler (press on his tail or head and he rings!).

I could use me one of them! It came with a butler, right?

Is this an antique or a modern novelty item?

It's from (and made in) Spain and has two patents. Don't know what they're for. I also have a small pin that matches it.

It's not an antique. And I wouldn't say it's a novelty item. I think it is supposed to be a useful item for getting someone's attention without hollerin'.

It's a quality instrumemnt.

Very nice, I could use that right now to call Jack while I'm convalescing!

Does the pin ring?

lovely color.
BTW, do you still like your ironing device, which has nothing to do with the turtle, but could be something that the butler could be called to do.
