Lehmann Tin Lithographed Windup “Mikado” German Flywheel Toy *SOLD*

Lehmann Mikado For Sale- German Flywheel Tin Toy

Our outstanding Mikado is in original condition and comes from a very meticulous collector of German and Paper toys.  Condition is all original and this is an outstanding example with strong color and bright colors.

The under carriage has spotting on the gold and lithography under the cart.  Wheels have abrasions and age spotting.  The lady has a chip below on the forehead of the figure.  The driver is in very clean condition with some aging to the white hat; light spotting.  The awning has very light spotting and edge wear.

The mechanism functions properly- the flywheel spins and then it launches the cart forward.  The driver’s feet are drug forward in a “walking” movement.

Asian culture was extremely exotic and fascinating to Europe around 1900 and this toy captures that fascination. We have a man driving the cart and then a woman with child in the back.  There is a detailed tin pressing to make the canvas top, which raises and lowers for protection.  The baby has an impressive use of color and imagination for a kids toy.
