UNUSUAL EARLY AMERICAN CLOCKWORK TRICYCLE.

Not the typical clockwork tricycle that Althof Bergmann produced. This is a more stylized tricycle with a flat rectangular cover over the clockwork motor on the rear wheels. The gentleman itself has stamped brass hands & feet and the head itself is somewhat unusual being referred to as the pressed linen head (Hawkins patent). The toy is in all original as found condition and just a light cleaning to the painted surfaces would bring up a fabulous lustre to the paint. Even the tin clockwork motor cover has a fanciful stenciling which is completely different than the A.B. tricycle. Truly a seldom found tricycle with great appeal. Mechanism is wound by “backwinding” and is functional and operational. SIZE: Overall 10″ l. CONDITION: Great original condition, some deterioration to original cloth outfit of young man. 49013-1 (2,200-2,700) – Lot 2049

Auction: Advertising, Toy & Doll - Spring 2015

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
