The Little King was a comic strip character created by Otto Soglow in the early 1930s. This charming little walking king is probably from the '30s or '40's. He is made of wood with lithographed features, 4" tall and 2 1/4" across the base. He moves when you pull the little ring on the string coming out of his headgear. However I am sure he was meant to move more dynamically
because one can see remnants of dried up rubber band material on grooves on the spool which are his "feet". Condition of the figure is very good, his perambulations must be left to an engineer.

This ca.1935 wind up is a delightful rendering of the traffic through the Lincoln Tunnel connecting N.Y.C. and New Jersey. It was made by Unique Art. The condition of the toy is about a 9 out of 10.
It has a few minor scratches.It is in full working order and the color is
very good. I have about 75% of the original box which can be restored (by someone with more patience and skill than I have).
