Ten eggs. Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Set of ten ceramic eggs. Various. 1900s
Unfortunately, we are two short of a dozen here! These eggs were used to encourage chooks to lay real eggs. These would be placed in with the chickens with the thoughts that they would see the eggs and produce some of their own? Not sure how effective this would have been, but it was common practice in the day. These are all in decent condition. A couple have hairlines, there are some rust stains, crude making marks, etc. Interesting collectable items from days past. Grade: N/A Estimate: $10 - 20
