Another Charming Old Wire Spinning Toy, Interlocking Rings in Red and Green Laura smily and then one more on

expressive face that keeps reminding me of a rooster

as they can certainly balance in all sorts of places

I have lots of love for the person who created this whimsical construction--no small effort
