Antique Large Victorian Key Wind Mechanical Scary White Cat Toy, As Found
About the Item
This antique mechanical toy is unsigned, but presumed to have been made in Europe, possibly England or Austria in approximately 1880 and done in the period Victorian style. The toy is a very large mechanically articulated white cat, which would have movement in the tail, legs and face. The clock work mechanism has been over wound, so is currently not working, but we do have a key that will fit the mechanism, which we include. Given the size and complexity of this toy, it would have been very expensive and only afforded by the most affluent of the period.

"Cat Boat" Mechanical Toy Penny Bank, American, circa 1968
By Utexiqual Products
Located in Incline Village, NV

To operate, (with the lever pushed all the way in from the left); place a coin vertically above the left arm of the sailor in red; from the right; push the lever all the way in. The sail and Boom hits the sailor, knocking him over as the coin drops into the bank. The other sailor moves forward while manning the tiller.
The bank is named "Cat Boat...
