Poodle Dog Bell Ringer No. 45 Bell Toy

Circa 1880: Produced by East Hampton, Connecticut's storied Gong Bell Manufacturing Company, this Poodle Dog Bell Ringer No. 45 features a colorfully adorned clown and his trick dog. As the cast iron toy is rolled along the ground, the figures move back and forth to ring the bell. This rare 8" long bell toy toy is in superb original paint with no touch ups, cracks, or repairs. A finer example of this kinetic wonder would be nearly impossible to find. Ex. Schroeder Collection
