AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

First pre-war version (!) of the Gescha - Express-Boy "Kofferboy" - Germany 1930s - Very good, in good condition!

This concerns the early pre-war red version from the 1930s. The little man goes around in circles, legs move (photo 2), he jumps onto the suitcase (photo 3) and after a lap he jumps off the suitcase and keeps walking, this repeats.

Only a few minimal, superficial signs of aging.

The underside bears the Gescha logo and the pre-war text: "D.R. Patent ang. Div. D.R.G.M. Patents applied for in England, U.S.A., France and Japan". This confirms the early, original German production.

Comes with a key (photo 5) and a replica box.
