Amusing Mechanical Tin Windup Toy.
MINT condition RARE
Depicting a Clown Trying to Escape From the Barrel.
7.5" H.
Made by J. Chein & Company Circa 1935 in New York City;
originally inventoried as 258 (same number as similar looking Popeye toy dated 1932) and was named;
“Mechanical Clown Barrel Walker”.
The name of the maker “Chein” is stamped as a logo to the rear of the barrel (see image).
This is one of the earlier toys that Chein made.
The lithography and hand paint are in gorgeous original condition with bright colors of red and gold to the barrel, flesh tones to the clown, who sports a multi colorful smiling face.
The toy works great; simply wind the attached key wind in the back 1/2 revolution; place on the hard surface the clown waddles across the floor, back and forth, while shaking his head to and forth, while shaking his head to and fro
