Description
13" (33 cm.) Standing upon drum-shaped platform with wooden feet, lithographed image of young lad courting a girl over a garden fence, and lithographed cover overall, is a bisque-headed doll with silk costume, holding wooden rod, and a paper mache box from which is protruding the paper mache head of Pierrot. When handwound at the side, the drum beats rat-a-tat-tat, while the little boy moves his arm, tapping Pierrot on the head, and Pierrot pops up and down from his box. Condition: good, some paper wear (visible in photo), and split in drum snare paper on opposite side. Comments: French, circa 1890. Value Points: wonderful and amusing toy in original condition.
