Much Distressed (Very Endearing) Old Mechanical Toy Cat with Striped Ball pyramid shaped vase making the finish appear moreHow to resist? I could easily leave behind a mechanical kitty like this in perfect condition, but the wear on this one makes it another thing entirely a hugely empathetic creature! I believe it once wound up with a key and would roll along mechanically, but now it just sits all the better to snuggle with, I'd say! A charmer. And it's metal wire tail does flip back and forth or stand straight up. C. 1940s I believe, likely made in Japan. 4 3 4" l x 2"
