Here's when this hollow handle knife was made:
 
Queen Bess II, Oneida Silver, silverplate, 1946. UNICEF founded, bikinis go on sale in Paris, start of baby boomer years, Cher, Dolly Parton & Steven Spielberg are born.
A hollow handle knife is transformed into squid with sea creatures swimming from its tentacles.  This piece features a squid, tropical fish, big mouth fish, a fin fish and a whale.  My marionette is accented with clear crystals and deep marin3eblue beads.  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 https://youtube.com/shorts/HrXEZZSl8hU, or search for Deep Sea Marionette.
