June 24-26 2016 Premier Toys, Dolls, Marbles & Figural Cast Iron
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/25/2016
This lot consists of two early and charming toys, a lamb on wheels and a wind up dog and hoop. The lamb is standing, unjointed, and covered in white wool. She has black feet, a slightly open mouth, pert ears, and lovely light blue and black pupil eyes. Her ribbon and bell appear to be original. She glides along four tiny metal wheels. She was most likely made in France at the turn of last century. The dog - perhaps a poodle and possibly manufactured by Roullet & Decamps - is jointed, begging, and covered with long, lush wool. Her face is detailed with brown and black pupil eyes and a black hand embroidered nose and mouth. She holds a decorated hoop between her front paws. Designed as a wind up toy, she would skip through the hoop once activated. This mechanism has not been tested. Condition: As noted. Both with light playwear and losses commensurate with age. Very good condition overall.
Item Dimensions: Largest: 6 - 3/4" T.
