An excellent example of a solid sterling silver novelty pin cushion.

The purple cushion looks to be original and is a little stained with silver polish. There is a small dent on the top of one of the racquets but overall it is in excellent condition given it's age. The small tennis balls are firmly attached to their racquets.
