Description
17" (43 cm.) w. 14"h. The wooden framed menagerie exhibit has lithographed paper designs on the front with merry and colorful designs and a centered name "Menagery" [sic]. Behind the metal bars of the three-level cages are the twelve original paper-mache exotic zoo animals with painted finish. Excellent condition with some wear on paper cover. Germany,for the American market,circa 1900,note the curious spelling of the title name. The rare toy is especially remarkable for the inclusion of all of the animals.
