ALTHOF BERGMANN BOY ON TRICYCLE.

ALTHOF BERGMANN BOY ON TRICYCLE. A very fine all original example with a pressed boy’s linen head. Still retaining his original, but somewhat frail cotton clothing. The painted and stenciled tin clockwork cover is in remarkable condition, still retaining its patent dates from 1870 and fine gold decorations on the top. A toy that would be most endearing to a child of that time. When wound he would propel forward in an erratic manner turning and weaving while going a great distance. Even today, this toy has great aesthetic appeal not only to collectors of toys, but those who also appreciate things of the past. SIZE: Approx. 11″ l x 8″ t. CONDITION: Linen head is in very fine original condition with only some paint loss to brown hair. Clothing as discussed is somewhat dusty and frail. Overall very fine plus condition! 1-11853 (1,500-2,000)

Auction: Advertising, Toy & Doll - Spring 2012
