Item Description
9" wide by 8.5" tall tin litho w/built-in key. 1930s. This famous toy was produced in three different versions, this is the version w/marquee on top of the piano, attached via slots on back (see following item) and violinist. Great all over illustrations using mice and cat motifs including cat playing tuba in center of marquee. Mice band members in this version are drummer, piano player, violinist and dancer. Toy works and features great action, all mice move. Keyboard shows wear from player's hands and toy exhibits scattered paint nick/scratches. The heavy wear usually found on this toy's drum head and keyboard is not as evident. Fine overall.
