For sale here is an extremely nice and functional 1912 dated Marke Lehmann German Made Wind Up Dancing Tin Toy, Oh My Alabama Coon Jigger. This is a great looking and functional early Americana Tin Wind Up Toy. The toy, when assembled, is 10 1/4 tall.

The base is 3 1/4" wide, 4 3/4" long, and 2 tall. The Jigger is approximately 8 1/4 tall.

The toy is made of tin, and the figure is hollow. The toy winds and starts as he should when the directions are followed. The key is marked D-R-P on one side and Lehmann on the other.

The starter side of the base is marked Marke Lehmann with makers logo, the key side of the base is marked Alabama Coon Jigger, the end of the base opposite the starter side is marked Oh - My, and the remaining long side is marked Alabama / 685 / Coon Jigger.

The dancing figure is nicely painted with a blue coat, yellow vest, red tie, yellow and red hat, white shirt, red and white checked pants and black shoes with off white leggings. The jacket has gold buttons and the figures hands and faced are nicely painted. The paint shows, use, age, wear, and light crazing, along with a few scuffs and some wear to the high points. A lot of the figural paint wear appears to be from the dangling arms moving. There are also some newer scuffs to the lapels of the coat and around the left shoulder. The bottoms of the shoes also show wear to the paint from dancing. To assemble the toy, simply slide the shaft into the base, and into the body in the correct direction, and he will be back together.
