Vintage Tinplate Clockwork Gentleman on Horseback,
Made in US-Zone Germany
 
A nice vintage tinplate clockwork Gentleman on horseback
 toy, consisting of a composition figure dressed in a red
suit with gold edging, gold top hat and black boots, and
 holding whip, sitting on a white horse, made by an
unknown maker in US-Zone Germany in the
late 1940's or early 1950's.
 
When wound the toy moves forward with the horse’s
front legs lifting and moving it forward slightly, repeating
 the action until the clockwork mechanism has run down.
 It measures 3.5 inches long by 1.5 wide and 4 inches
 tall and is in very good to excellent used working
condition with minor playwear, just some minor
 damage to the front of the rider’s hat. A Schuco
key is supplied and the toy is marked on the
underside of the horse with “D.R.G.M.”, “D.R.P.”
 and “Made in U.S-Zone Germany”.
 
A nice vintage clockwork toy in excellent
condition and hard to find.
