EXCEEDINGLY RARE IVES HOOK BEHIND CLOCKWORK TOY. One of the most desirable of Ives early horse drawn vehicles that is fresh to the market, from the original owner. The toy depicts a woman dressed provincial clothing driving a one horse country wagon with four large cast iron wheels as black mask face boy dressed in blue jacket, red pants, and tin hat trails behind. When wound, his articulated cast iron legs simulate running as the woman rocks to and fro and the horse gallops all simultaneously. Polychrome wagon features traces of original fruit decals, and partial label stating patent date under the woman’s seat. This outstanding toy would enhance any advanced collection or stand on its own. SIZE: 17″ l. CONDITION: Toy appears to be all original with paint loss to carriage and horse. Seat appears to have old resoldering. Figures’ clothing shows some staining and discoloration, and front shafts supporting horse need to be resoldered, but overall for a toy of this age in very good condition. 1-11114 (12,000-15,000)
