Summary
A wooden rattle toy for a baby (circa 1982) in its original cardboard box. Consisting of a red rod with a fixed red cap at one end and a loose red cap at the other end. Three rings, one blue, one yellow and one green, slide on the rod. These are of different lengths and diameters, so that the green ring slides over the yellow ring, which in turn slides over the blue ring. The original yellow cardboard box, which opens at the top, has mainly red printing. On the top is printed 'BRIO/ Stacking rattle' (in three languages). The front has a coloured picture of a baby playing with the toy and the words 'BRIO BABY/ From 7 months'. On each side is a description of how the toy helps children of 4-7 months and 8-12 months in three languages. Total number of items is five
