As well as the rattle itself which may be in the form of one or more bells, Georgian and Victorian rattles may include a teething ring, made of ivory or coral, and a whistle for blowing. Coral was believed to have medicinal properties, but on many rattles where previously present, it has been broken off and is missing. Often made of thin silver, Victorian rattles easily sustain damage such as tearing or denting, or have pieces missing.
