Deep Sea Marionette Hollow Knife Chime Made From -Starlight Silverware 1950

Here's when this hollow handle knife was made: Starlight, silverplate, International Silver, 1950. James Dean appears in Pepsi commercial, The Lone Ranger and Ed Sullivan show are popular, Gas 18 cents/gallon. A hollow handle knife is transformed into squid with sea creatures swimming from its tentacles. This piece features a segment fish, a squid, a pufferfish, a fin fish, a salad fork squid capturing a spoon tip fish and a toothy sea snake. My marionette is accented with purple rainbow beads for maximum glitter. Only a few beads are used to get the maximum sound from this chime.Occasionally spray beads with window cleaner, then with water and drip dry. Hang in a VERY sheltered area such as inside or a closed porch.This size is also great in windows hanging from a hook or from a curtain rod.Hear this chime at hhttps://youtube.com/shorts/NurHjWS6eWM, or search for Deep Sea Marionette.Learn about my work at Life In The Finger Lakes magazine and the Greater Ithaca Art Trail.View my videos on YouTube.Length: 9" (plus chain)Width: 4"
