Erie Basin and the Ivory Saw Teether

“Take a look at the selection of teethers available on amazon (especially this one) and then consider that once upon a time, toddlers had finely carved ivory saws to chew on.”
— If you like jewelry and fascinating old things, the Brooklyn-based antique store Erie Basin posts pictures and information about just that type of stuff semi-infrequently to Tumblr. And along with the wonderfully weird (above), there’s also the lovely, the whimsical, and the weirder. Also party favors.
