Wind-Up Doggies
We spotted these two little wind up doggies at an antique flea market just before Christmas. Probably German and circa the 1930s, they measure 4 and 1/2 inches long. When their keys are wound, their tails spin in wild circles, while the ears on the larger dog flap back and forth in spectacularly comic fashion.
The littlest dog wears a red felt sweater. He reminds me of Asta, Nick and Nora Charles' dog in the Thin Man movies.

ReplyDeleteCute Dogs Tracy...wherever did you find these? Janice
ReplyDeleteWe found them at a flea market in New Baltimore, at the Civic Club. Very flea-ish, except for 1 dealer who had fantastic old toys and Christmas decorations. We also got a 1930s Santa in sleigh with celluloid reindeer from the same source. I think there's another market coming up in February.
