The Dance Card Museum

# DC 16. No dated but probably late 1890's. Vienna. The decorative elements include: a horseshoe, rope (climbing), a walking staff ( wood with a metal point), a wooden "press", and a pair of wood wheels strung with "rope", one with the "footprint" of a shoe. This ball had something to do with climbing, but do not know what aspect. A kind visitor indicates that the Wheels are snowshoes and the stick is a typical sharp tip to give the winter climber/hiker a grip on the slippery ice fields. Manufactured by August Klein. Purchased on Cape Cod. Price: $300.00.
