TELLER, Perfectly Precise (and Concise) Thick Glass Sign with Gold Lettering vintage leather ball; A bit of old creasing

A bit of old creasing along the left edge but lies flat now and is overall in very good condition

The long arm folds down to rest inside of a groove carved into the side of the handle--though at this point it doesn't   close quite all the way in

The fact that one of the balls in this one is shaped like an egg is what really sold me on it

with a nice long turned wooden handle

I believe this is likely German and dates to the 1920s or so

TELLER, Perfectly Precise (and Concise) Thick Glass Sign with Gold Lettering vintage leather ball; A bit of old creasingOne of my favorites of the week, both for being a beautiful object and for the excellent one word "teller" which, removed from its original context (at a bank, I'd think) could mean all sorts of things: truth teller, fortune teller, teller of tales, etc. Very thick glass, glorious gold letters, perfectly deadpan sans serif font, crisp and clean and super precise. Plus with the effect of the text appearing as if double when viewed at certain angles.
