16″ BERGMANN CLOCKWORK GIG.

16″ BERGMANN CLOCKWORK GIG. Very fancy Bergman clockwork gig, almost seems like an “End of Days” toy. Sometimes, at the end of a work day in the late 1800’s manufacturing, a toy might get some extra embellishments like found on this toy. Fine line pinstripe paint brush work and abundant use of polychrome finish make it a super deluxe model! There also is a partial patent date stenciled on the front dashboard. An interesting feature is the side bottoms of the gig. The “skirt” above the wheels is actually a small animal tin toy. Base is cut in 1/2 length-wise & soldered to the gig. The toy operates in a zig-zag pattern through a rod attached from the clockwork to the hitching bar. The horse gallops in a pivoting up and down motion driven by an eccentric axle on the front wheel. Fine painted orange and red brushwork detail the rains and saddle decoration. The horse detail is complete with white socks, black feet, mane and tail. SIZE: 15″. CONDITION: Overall condition is very good plus. Aged repair/re-solder to front dashboard with minimal paint touch up. Driver is an older replacement. 1-10285 (4,000-6,000)
