Description

This vintage wind-up clockwork toy was made in Japan in the 1940-50s. Included are the original wind-up key and decorative box (rare). The butterfly on the wire pole is missing. The cat is 4.5" long x 3.75" tall and is made of tin covered in synthetic fur which shows age-related wear, along with a missing nose and portion of one eye. The wind-up motor and actions still work, with the cat moving its head and alternating its legs between "walking" and "running" speeds.
