CLOCKWORK MOVING PICTURE “WHO STOLE MY KEYHOLE”. An appealing clockwork diorama depicting the drunken husband coming home late one night and trying to open the door with his key. Suddenly the sot’s curmudgeon wife appears, clearly disgusted with his behavior. She brandishes a broom, threatening to hit him. All contained within a fanciful plaster of Paris frame. Of German manufacture, oftentimes these dioramas were contained in Schoenhut toy catalogs, most likely being brokered by the famous Philadelphia, Pennsylvania toy company. This toy still retains it’s original directions as well as a paper trademark label on rear door. SIZE: 11″ wide x 14″ high.
