Lehmann Masuyama Windup Tin Toy for Sale *SOLD*

Lehmann Masuyama Windup Tin Toy For Sale No 773

Stunning, original, and near new old stock– Our Lehmann Masuyama toy is tops.  It will come with an original Lehmann toy box lid as well (not pictured).

Note the hand painted details coupled with lithography on he patterned clothing.  The lady’s umbrella is the cherry on top of the entire toy’s condition.  Keep in mind this is a 110-120 year old toy and imported from Germany.

When the rickshaw is wound up, the toy balances with just a bit of weight on the driver.  His shoe tips catch the floor and “walk”.

The toy is completely magical in its fine detailing and German engineering.  At the same time it is soft, finely textured, and beautiful with the Geisha and her face.  The waiving fan is something to see in person.
