Description

8"h. A tin lithographed black man is posed upon a tin base, supported by a metal rod, and fancily costumed in blue jacket, plaid pants, top hat, vest and carrying a tin accordion. He is jointed loosely at shoulders, hips and knees, allowing him to dance merrily when wound. Excellent condition, beautiful detail of lithography. Circa 1920.
