Very rare and in very clean condition is this antique toy. When you move it forward the clown rocks back and forth as if being pulled by the zebra. This is from my own collection being sold to pay Vet. bills. Cir. 1890 to 1900. See pictures for details and ask questions. It looks in excellent condition with some fraying of material on the clowns skirt. Really exceptional ...condition on this very old french toy.All painting on all pieces is perfect. A lot of painstaking work went into making this toy 130 years ago. The clowns eyes are glass and the head is bisque. He is about 7 inches tall and the zebra that is maybe composition and covered with a soft material is about 5 inches tall and 4 1/2 long. The wagon is made from wood and has metal wheels. From one end to the other it measures about 9 inches long and about 8 inches tall. Shipping is a estimate any amt. overpaid will be refunded to you on Paypal. I'm listing her way below her worth. I'm selling this item for way below my costs to pay Vet. Bills. All offers will be considered
After looking at the clowns outfit I noticed that there are quite a few holes in his clothes. This is to be expected in something make in the 1800's. Its still looks wonderful for age. It must not have been played with but some spots of material melting. Not that noticable unless you are looking for it as I really hadn't noticed it until after I took the pictures. International bidders are welcome. This item will be double boxed. Please make offers.
