Lehmann Paddy The Pig Tin Windup #2 *SOLD*

Lehmann Paddy The Pig 2 for sale

This Paddy is a great find from an estate, held around 100 years in an attic.  It was then displayed in the grandson’s home for a bit.

The toy is in original condition with possibly the original rope and delicate pipe and hat still intact.  The mechanism works well  and colors go well with the gold lithograph.  The face and highlighting appears to be hand painted.  There is some paint deterioration on one side around the saddle with some fade as shown in the photos.

Our toy was looks to have had very little wear and play use.
