March 13 & 14, 2019 Toy, Doll & Figural Cast Iron
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 3/14/2019
Pre-war Japan. Rare and large toy; the man, meant to represent a political figure giving a speech, the bee is meant to represent relentless Japan stinging him on his large head. Wonderful action; when wound, the politicians head moves slowly front side to side while his facial expression changes, eyes and mouth move, bee on head vibrates with fluttering wings, working. Dent to one cheek, repair to nose. Very good to excellent. 10".
Item Dimensions: 9" x 4" x 3".
