Description
A cast iron mechanical spittoon in the form of a turtle, probably Bradley & Hubbard (marked 3812 on interior) - pressing the turtle's head caused the lid to lift - a removable copper tray sets in the interior which is likely a replacement - missing a bolt that holds the iron lid (turtle's shell) to the cast iron tree branch arm - the turtle's head is broken and detached from it's neck that, when pressed with foot, would open the lid. It measures 10 /2"L x 9"W. Provenance: From the Thomas & Gail Rockwell collection, LaGrangeville NY. Tom is the son of the renowned American artist, Norman Rockwell and the author or many children's books. His late wife Gail, was an artist-illustrator and the daughter of Arthur E. Sudler and Janet Whitson Sudler, both early 20th century artists - she illustrated several of her husband's children's books.
