Hallmarked ‘Copyright 1922 by Fontaine Fox’ to the sides and ‘Pat Applied for and Made in Germany’ to the base. Clockwork wind-up mechanics propel the trolley forward and cause ‘The Skipper’ to turn his crank and ‘bump’ along.

Condition

- clockworks appear to be in working condition, however, this piece was not wound more than to see if the wheels moved in turn.
- dust and marks to the finish
- trolley leans a bit and one side of the trolley shows a sooty darkness to the finish in spots
