Product Overview
Dancing Victorian Firemen Bell Toy. These guys seem to be having a little bit too much fun to be Victorian. Bell toys were the most engaging and popular of Victorian toys. Most of the cast iron bell toys were produced between 1890 and 1910 in the Northeastern United States. These exclusive faithful reproductions were made in quantities of 600 each in 1985. About half of these were sold at the time, and D. Lawless purchased the balance of the stock. There have been none made since. We have sold these on a limited basis to collectors until now. Our stock is not large. Originals sell for thousands of dollars. Now is your chance to enjoy a little bit of toy history, or to present the most unusual gift to a friend or relative that they will ever receive. All Cast Iron, measures 8 1/2" x 5" x 8". Pull toy, no movement except for bells when pulled. Men will turn in a circle but must be turned by hand. Not a child's toy by today's standards. For collectors and admirers of the past only.
