SOLD ~ ANTIQUE GERMAN BEAR IN LITHO WOOD CAGE ON WHEELS WITH SQUEAKER
German Bear in Litho Wood Cage on
Wheels Squeaker Toy. The cage is 9 1/4" x 5 1/4" x 7 " tall. Red tile lithograph
roof and sides. Metal wheels. I have seen another for sale and it was marked 'Made in Germany' on the bottom.....this one is not. Roof is curved. Bear is composition covered
with gold bristle mohair & glass eyes. When you open the door, the bear swings out
and makes a squeaking noise (growl?). The bear is about 5 1/2" long and 4"
tall to top of head. Early toy, 1910-20's vintage. Litho on the roof is lighter
in some areas. The roof has two corners with damage, a crack in it, wood
chipped off in one area and some peeling of the red litho shingles. One of the “bars” is missing on the cage
door. The back wall is bowed in the
middle. It has definitely been played with.
This piece is not perfect but I have taken photos of all sides to show it’s
condition.
$165.01 SOLD Includes shipping in the continental USA. If you live outside the USA and wish to purchase, please contact me at: adorrbear@aol.com before you pay using the PayPal BUY NOW button. Thank you.
