1920’s Antique Tin Windup EINFALT / KELLERMAN Balloon man Vendor with Mickey Mouse

1920’s Antique Tin Windup EINFALT / KELLERMAN Balloon man Vendor w/ Mickey Mouse. Arm does go up and down slightly, due to grommet loose. Otherwise it would be. Fine and would slow the spring a little. At the moment it works too fast. You can see the pin in the back is in place. Minor wear for a toy from the 1020’s/1930’s. Mickey mouse in bag Maybe a new piece. I checked the printing on the metal. And the printing is a bit different. So not sure if it’s a replacement. Also the eye does go back and forth just fine. Wonderful Graphics, very bright.

Unusual perspective to the photograph looking UP to the animal. Tremendous focus, but also joy in his eyes. The boys on either side are terrified, while the one just behind is fascinated. No context to tease out the intent here, other than he has an audience. Sepia 5 x 7 w/ corner damage top left that does not affect subject.

Vtg 1920’s Carnival Prizes Souvenirs Chalkware Statue Figurine Doll Antique Toys! Buddy of mine had these, thought they were a great piece of history…… Said his grandfather had them in his workshop forever! Was a crack at the base of girls legs, I put some gorilla glue around crack to keep it from spreading (had to look real close to see it) guessing they were a couple most of these were hand cast & hand painted!
