Up for sale is an authentic pre-war German lithographed tin wind-up trick clown on a 3-wheeled eccentric vehicle, manufactured in Nuremberg by C.K.O. (Georg Kellermann & Co.).
This piece features vibrant litho artwork showcasing a circus clown in harlequin trousers and a striped jacket. The offset wheel design and front caster generate a classic erratic \"trick\" action when wound.
Mechanical Condition: Tested and working excellent. The clockwork motor winds smoothly and drives the mechanism as intended. Built-in key is intact underneath.
Cosmetic Condition: Good vintage condition with honest, age-appropriate play wear, mild litho flaking, and light surface oxidation along the edges and seams. No major structural bends or missing key components; steering rod, wheel, and front assembly are present.
Markings: Features the classic C.K.O. logo lithographed on the rear body panel.
