Item Description
2.5x2.5" and about .5" thick with highly embossed details. Originally issued with a tan string attached through a rod at the bottom of the chin but this example has a much more substantial and practical metal 2.25" link chain. When this is pulled both eyeballs rotate rapidly in opposite directions creating a rather bizarre effect. Reverse has two sharply pointed 1-3/8" metal prongs so the piece can be worn. Stamped on back "Made In Germany." Couple of very tiny paint flakes off the red lips but well over 97% of the original paint remains. These were a small find decades ago but have long been absorbed by collectors and are seldom seen nowadays. Great action and great condition.
