| Description: | Two wooden toys given to Aubrey Hall by his grandmother: A quangle-wangle and a small wooden acrobat. |
8/2/1971 CH 982 Two wooden toys: (a) a quangle-wangle; and (b) small wooden acrobat. On the base of the quangle-wangle is written "For Aubrey to play with a quangle-wangle." The writing is that of Mrs T. S. Lodge (nee Leake). Mrs Lodge was Helen Rose Hall's mother. [This was a joke-present to her son-in-law, HMW.]
Mentioned in P5 of list of donations to the WA Museum, 1971.
A quangle-wangle featured in an 1876 poem by Edward Lear, The Quangle-Wangle's Hat, so perhaps this gift dates to later than that.
