Perfect
Have seen traditional brass hearth crickets , but these are exceptional. Received two, along with a gifted key fob and a note from the maker. " one for me, one for good luck..". Even nicer in person. Unique and already have pride of place on the hearth. Another Amazon purchase that reminds one that you've purchased from creative and decent people
