GIRL SKIPPING ROPE - Blue dress, J & E S

GIRL SKIPPING ROPE - Blue dress, J & E Stevens Co., designed by James H. Bowen, patented 5/20/1890. In manufacturing this toy, the aim has been to produce a prolonged or continuous performance of its amusing features without the aid of an expensive and delicate clockwork mechanism. This has been accomplished by inventing a simple, strong and durable motor, by means of which all the results of clockwork are obtained at much less cost and greater durability. The simulation of "skipping the rope" is perfect - the body, head, feet and rope all moving in unison, but each part performing independently in its own appropriate manner. Some touch up to girl's hat & hair. Touch up to inner cage. (Very Good Condition)
