Item Description
2.5x7.25x5.25" tall. c. 1920s. Tin litho toy with built-in key. Made in Germany by Einfalt. There were two versions made of this toy. One is unmarked and has solid colored outfits. On this version the back of Maggie's dress reads "Copyright 1924 By International Features Syndicate/Geo. McManus" and the outfits are multi-colored. 3.75" tall figures are attached to wheeled platform connected by thin flat tin strip. Both figures have separate arms. Maggie holds a rolling pin in one hand. Jiggs holds a cane. "Maggie" appears on her dress while "Jiggs" appears on his hat. Under Maggie is a spotted dog. Toy works and travels back and forth making quick stops which cause the two figures to lunge at each other swinging their arms. A few scratches, mostly evident where Jiggs arms move against toy. Works well. Overall color remains bright and glossy. Fine.
