Description
7"h. A tinplate carnival rid with painted finish features three seated people sitting on a center bench under a canopy with blue/yellow flying flag and three tin dirigibles suspended on tin metal rods. When string-activated the canopy and bench revolve; depending on speed of pulling, the dirigibles could fly low, or even fly perpendicular with the canopy. Excellent condition, slight paint darkening on dirigibles, lacking original string. Germany, circa 1910.
