Great Old Stone Fruit Bruised Golden Apple bead eye The little arms resting on

and making me want to tie a string to loop at front to help it along

2" x 2" x 2" and in very good antique (I do believe) condition

which I assume served as writing guides

Cups measure 3 1/2" t x 2 3/4" in diameter

Great Old Stone Fruit Bruised Golden Apple bead eye The little arms resting onI continue to inspect pieces of stone fruit wherever I go, only pulling the trigger when I find an especially good and singular specimen.
