1960s vintage Mexican Balero toy

This is a genuine vintage toy that probably dates from the 1960s. An older Mexican man sold it to me, and he said he played with it when he was a kid. He could still do it, too. ! This game is a great stress reliever! Great for focusing, living in the moment, and enjoying something from a simpler time (although kids still play with these in Mexico). This is also a wonderful display item. Construction is partially turned, partially hand-carved. Size: 10 inches long, both pieces together. Barrel part is just over 5 inches long x 10 inches in diameter Age: 1960s (estimated) Materials: Wood, paint, string, steel eye (for trying string to) Though old and well-loved, it is completely functional..
