I recently got a small older one, fixed into a barber's paddle, and which I got out this evening after some lengthy and delicate effort. Happily it was coticule all the way down, and with a nice bit of depth to it . And I had a coupla q.s just out of interest, if anyone can shed any light. (Pics at the end to illustrate.)
It appeared to have been fixed into the wood using glue mixed with something that looked and felt a lot like coticule mud/dust. Is that a thing they do/did?
One end has a hole drilled all the way through, which must have been used to hang or fix it somewhere at some point I assume? Anyone know anything about that?
