Becker ca. 1910 “Butcher Cleaving Dog’s Head” Hand Painted German Tin Steam Toy Accessory Hirschberg Collection *SOLD*

Antique ca. 1910 Becker “Butcher Cleaving Dog’s Head” Hand Painted German Tin Steam Toy Hirschberg Collection

This is a different but historic ca. 1910 tin hand painted steam toy accessory made by Becker of Germany. This was purchased from the Morton A. Hirschberg collection. This steam toy ca. 1910 can be found in Morton A. Hirschberg’s Steam Toys: A Symphony in Motion on pg. 27

Becker is a less followed name and is considered part of the hand toy painting “Zschopau School”. Heino Becker and others like Ricter, Wunderlich and Zinkner produced toys just south of Chemnitz, Germany. These toys tend to be hand crafted and hand lacquered. They had small factory forces, and they did supply toys to Bing, Carette, and Plank!  Great history and this helps explain some crossover looks in the early Germany Toys!

This is a highly detailed steam accessory with a realistic butcher whose ax chops the dog’s head when the crank is turned. This wonderful steam toy works smoothly when cranked. Our example of this piece is in great all original condition with no restorations, repairs, or touch ups. The paint is good overall with the usual patina, scratches, scuffs and chips that are seen with age and play. The whole toy is approximately 5” L x 31/4” W x 5” H. We encourage you to examine the photographs to further determine condition and quality.
