OMG that is cool.

Search “Chalkware string dispenser” and you’ll find quite a selection from the '30s - '50s. At your local antique mall, many can be had for a rounding error of free.

(Unfortunately, some mirror the accepted racism and xenophobia of the day - but let us not dwell.)

Chalkware carnival prizes are an area of interest for me, so anyone can pm me if interested in discussing further.

I use my kitchen quite a bit. It gets smokey sometimes and greasy. Any string left on the counter top like that would develop a nice patina

Yeah you thnk you foiled the cat but cats are smart and will save revenge for when it is most inconvenient for you.
