A bisque girl with swivel head, brown glass enamel inset eyes, painted lashes, brushstroked brows, accented nostrils and eye corners, closed mouth with center accent line, brunette human hair over cork pate, carton torso and legs, wire upper arms, bisque forearms, is standing upon a metal platform with three spoked wheels, alongside a large black and white spotted hunting hound with glass eyes. When wound, the girl vigorously moves her arms up and down, and turns head side to side, while wheels turn and the toy moves along. Condition: generally excellent, finger tip broken. Marks: G.Vichy Paris (mechanism). Comments: Gustav Vichy, circa 1875. Value Points: unusually large size of the classic- style Vichy toy with unusual theme functions well, features girl in original teal blue and maroon silk costume and bonnet.
