AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Blömer & Schuler - Tin Toy - Elephant Juggler - Germany
The "Elephant Juggler" is a classic piece of German tin wind-up toy machinery that is mainly associated with the manufacturer Blömer & Schuler (B&S). The designation "J & W" or "JW" refers to the distributor or a specific trademark-series often used on German toys from the post-war period (ca. 1950). NBN stands for Nürnberger Blechspielwaren Fabrik (see stamp globe).
A highly sought-after and technically ingenious piece of tin toy: the Performing Circus Elephant. This model is known for its dynamic action; while the elephant sits on its hind legs, a mechanical spiral (helix) on the right side raises colored balls. They then fall via a chute into the elephant's basket, after which he "juggles" them by spinning the propeller on his trunk.
In very nice vintage condition with light signs of aging (the toy is about 70 years old)
Bright and fresh colors, with the 3 original balls!!
Tested and working/playable.
Dimensions: 22 cm long, 10 cm wide, 25 cm high.
See photos for review!!
Carefully packaged & shipped with track/trace !!
