Toy Petronel

We have never made anything even remotely like this before. This piece was commissioned by the Museum of Liverpool to help fill in a spot in their Toy Timeline (mostly replicas, and also including a couple of our whistles), which supports hands-on activities at the museum (https://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/mol/events/displayevent.aspx?eventid=40628). Now we thought some of you later types might enjoy it. Copied after an original found at Southward Bridge, the north side, in London, and dated 1600-1630.
