Description: | inscription, embossed, KIDDICRAFT
Multicoloured plastic teething beads on a fine silver plated chain, made by Kiddicraft, mid 20th century. Used by the donor's sister Janet Smith, in their childhood home, 9 South Avenue, South Shields. The original Kiddicraft product information was as follows: "Kiddicraft Hygienic Teething Beads. Suitable for use from 6 months. A Hilary Page Design. For generations Teething Beads have consisted of a string of enamelled wooden beads. These have never been very satisfactory because a baby, even without teeth, can eventually gnaw off the enamel. With Kiddicraft Teething Beads it is quite impossible for a baby to remove the slightest trace of colour or material. These hygienic Teething Beads can be washed indefinitely in hot soapy water but should not be boiled. The chain is plated with pure silver and is much more hygienic and easy to clean than any type of cord. The rounded links cannot hurt the gums, and each link is individually welded".
