1920, UK: This automata is an example of an "attention getter", most likely for the window of a liquor store. Composite construction with glass eyes, period clothing and top hat, with working street light. When activated, the man clings to the pole, lifts his head, and attempts to drink form the champagne bottle. CONSIDERATIONS: Very little wear to the clothes, some fraying at a couple edges. The painted face has a great expression, and the light pole works. 110 electricity that will work in the US without a transformer.
