Vintage Toy by Lindstrom Dancing Dutch Boy Playing Accordion American Circa 1930

Offered by: Clive Devenish Antiques

Description
Very difficult antique toy to come by, especially to find with the original box, as this example. In excellent and all original condition and paint in bright blue, white, and yellow paint and lithography with no touch up; there is zero restoration, and the toy is in outstanding operating condition; just wind up the attached wind up key on the back of the boy and the he dances around in a circular motion for quite some time while seemingly playing his accordion (see the video attached). “Dancing Dutch Boy” is an all tin wind up toy of American manufacture; made by the Lindstrom Toy Company of Bridgeport, Connecticut in 1930; the company having been established in 1913. Having the box for this toy is of particular value and interest because of all the documentation on the box.
