If you know me or my shop- you know that I love to rescue pieces showing their age and history…If you- like me, love forgotten pieces …this is for you… if you are looking for perfect- this is NOT for you….
sold as collectible- not as toy!
aged - some wear!
Antique lightweight German clown -spring mechanism tin toy - carnival themed -aged- collectible not sold as toy
I was lucky to purchase many pieces from a Collectors estate. The owner also owned an antique/toy store, that closed in the 70’s … most pieces came from France and Germany.
fantastic little piece from Germany in clearly pre loved condition but fantastic-
It has surface wear/ surface rust and color fading and light bending-pictured
It works - the slide piece does not always go all the way up and it sometimes get stuck , which could possibly carefully be corrected ( however I don’t want to pull to hard, to not damage the aged spring or break anything)

Please kindly see all pictures for details before purchase and let me know if you have any questions
