Rope, Jump
Jump rope with maple handles, Church Family, Mount Lebanon, NY
Description
Jump rope of laid rope and maple (Acer spp.) handles, turned between centers. Rope knotted outside center holes of handles so as to keep rope and handles together. It appears that an attempt was made to secure the knots in the handle holes by swabbing the rope ends with asphaltum. One handle still has rope secure but other handle-rope joint has failed.
