notes: label: Description
content: Molded glass ball, thick plied blue cord inserted and knotted into opening on top for hanger, two metal bent wire hooks attached to cord. Likely manufactured to be used as a glass target ball for practice shooting, and then at some point the cord and hooks were added so that it could be used as a Christmas tree ornament, as with DL*298065.0280, a similar (marked) ornament. See also DL*298065.0419. No mark.
