Description from the seller

The German mechanical tin peacock is a rare object of art and decoration that has captivated collectors and automaton enthusiasts since the early 20th century. This mechanical peacock is a perfect example of the mechanical art of the period. It is rare, with most peacocks having lost their crown on the head. This mechanical peacock is functional and made of lithographed tin, making it a sought-after piece among automaton collectors. A rare German mechanical tin peacock by Blomer & Schuler, in color lithography. It moves, with the tail lifting and spreading apart (mechanism may need revision), and bears the inscription 'Made in Germany DPR And DRGM' along with the elephant logo below.

tail of 16.5 cm high and 24 cm long

Very good for its age

Careful and fast shipment!!!
