THE ITEM DESCRIPTION: The lithographed tin squeeze toy of Charlie Chaplin is unmarked. It is a German made toy. For many years I was unsure of where the toy was made & even considered that it could be American made since it had no markings but recently I saw 2 more examples of the toy that were marked Made In Germany in red on the hand that is not holding the cane. The figure is 7 1/2” tall. When squeezed Charlie's oversized shoes move & point straight up with the tips of the shoes touching the tips of his fingers. His eyes “open”, his mouth moves & a 2nd hat appears from behind the 1st. Very amusing action. His hair is very curly & sticks out on either side of his head. I call the design “deco” because of the geometric lines on his pants, shoes & jacket as well as the shape of the body & elongated neck. Toy is in excellent condition, working & shows very minimal play wear or use. I am dating it early 1920s to be conservative but it could actually be from the late teens when other Chaplin toys were being made in both Germany & the US. 122523/85FJ(67)  Selling more comic character tin mechanical toys on eBay now.
