Description
6" (15 cm.) A simple wooden cabinet with marbleized paper cover opens and unfolds to reveal a
delightful tumbling toy; the lid reverses to form two levels,and the drawer pulls out to form still
a third. When the paper-mache and wooden figure is placed appropriately,he tips
forward,tumbles,and then tumbles again as though performing acrobatic tricks. Condition:
generally excellent. Marks: (pencil script on the base has illegible name and address and 1857
date). Comments: circa 1855. Value Points: wonderful state of preservation of the early toy with
beautiful colors and activity.
