Description from the seller
French vintage antique wind-up toy – Character with mechanical mechanism – Patented S.G.D.G.
Description:
I am offering for sale this old French vintage wind-up toy, depicting a stylized male character wearing a cap.
The piece is particularly interesting for its built-in mechanical mechanism, visible between the two articulated parts. The toy is also accompanied by its long original cord with ring, allowing its use/handling. However I don’t know exactly how to make it work.
A mark is present on the plastic, bearing the inscription “Bté S.G.D.G.”, an old French indication related to a patent. This mark as well as the toy’s distinctive design make it an interesting piece for enthusiasts of antique mechanical toys, patented objects and vintage curiosities.
Condition:
Good overall condition given its age, with normal signs of use and storage: small scratches, soiling and light signs of wear on the plastic.
The cord is present but shows signs of aging.
The mechanism is present and visible; I do not guarantee its full operation without restoration/testing.
The item is sold as shown in the photographs. Please carefully view the photos which are an integral part of the description.
Estimated era: mid-20th century.
Origin: France, according to the marking.
Material: plastic.
