19th-Century Turned Boxwood School Clicker A 19th-century English school instrument made of turned boxwood, known as a “Dame School Clicker” or “snapper.” It consists of a carefully turned, elongated body and a long wooden strip designed to produce a sharp snap to attract the attention of students in small private schools known as “dame schools.” The wood exhibits a deep, aged patina and signs of wear consistent with prolonged use. The visible retaining wire appears to have been replaced, and a small wooden piece may be a later addition. Details: Period: 19th century, Origin: England, Type: Dame School Clicker or snapper, Material: turned boxwood, Length: 19 cm, Condition: signs of wear, aged patina, replaced retaining wire, possible small restored element.
