A Silver Modern Dreidel, 20th Century

About the Item

A Silver Modern Dreidel made in the 20th Century. This Silver modern Dreidel is uncommonly made. The sides of the dreidel are square and it has the Hebrew letters Nun, Gimmel, Hey, and Shin prominently displayed but that's where the commonality stops. The top handle is long and cylindrical and the bottom point where the dreidel spins is very similar. We have seen this design on some bone dreidels. The top is slightly tilted upwards and has designs that resemble spherical beads encircled by filigree which are common on some Israeli Kiddush goblets. Even the letters which are the smae as most dreidels yet have unique designs. The Gimmel is crowned with an eight-branch Menorah, the Nun is placed within an oil pourer, the Shin is written mechanically with lines through its base, and the Hey is written in an old Jerusalem Fashion. Each letter is bordered with undulating edge scrolling and twisting columns at the corners. At the lower end of every side, there are overhanging silver swags surrounding the lower edges of the dreidel. Marked 925 at the bottom of the base.
