Not sure what era this is from, but it looks pretty old. My guess is 1900s. Please email if you know more than I do and I will add details. It is heavy iron or steel, painted. Weighs 1-2 lbs. Measures 4 inches by almost 3 across, and 4 inches high at front, roof slopes back to 3 inches. The little man flips, and there is a mechanism on the side that turns also. The man when flipped, hangs by his toes from the roof. The coin slot on the roof. Not sure how it works or if pieces are missing, other than the coin cover on the bottom which is obviously not there. The only writing I can make out looks hand painted and says PAT JUN 2. Will ship in a medium flat rate box for $14 well padded. I am happy to ship cheaper if you know a way via USPS.
