Rare Vintage 1920s German DRP Tin Litho Wind Up Toy Bullfighter Matador WORKS

This is a rare and desirable German vintage wind-up toy. It is a tin litho bull and bullfighter. When wound up and released, it rolls back and forth several inches, as if the matador is lunging at the bull and then the bull is lunging back at him. The left rear wheel of the bull has a slot that allows that wheel to pivot so the direction changes. It is very well preserved with no damage.

The colors are good and overall there's a bit of patina and minor dirt. The sword or axe is probably not original but was with it when I obtained it. A toothpick might be another good substitute.

The only marking is DRP, between the matador's feet. Length is approx 9 inches. Please ask if you need more photos or details.
