Description

Painted wood; peg is unusual in that it incorporates a ball bearing to serve as contact point. If the ball is free moving and highly polished, it would offer little friction. Yet the advantage in use by ordinary person is probaly small. Made by Forster Mgf of Wilton.

Credit Line Gift of Douglas W. Gould, 1975
