I have had a lucky cricket on my hearth for as long as I can remember.  My parents gave it to me when I bought my first house, so I wanted to carry on the tradition and do the same with my children when they had their first homes.  I think they think I was a little nuts, but anyway this cricket is heavy brass and should last a lifetime of moves.  It was a little bigger than I would have liked it to be, but it serves its purpose well!
