Item Description
5.5x12x6” tall nice quality free-wheeling toy. c. 1898, commemorating the hero of the Spanish American War, high relief portrait image of Dewey appears on each side with designs around him of flag, wreath and sword running through his name. Additional ornate detailing to frame. Movable cannon on top. Toy was produced in color varieties of gold, black and silver, this being the latter of the 3. Moderate scattered wear to the silver paint, mostly to relief designs and cannon but 60% remains. Toy remains structurally sound. Fine. A desirable toy for this epic event in American history.
