This very rare and wonderful Steam Toy Accessory features a tin base with a rather large mill building with water wheel on one end and the drive wheel for the Toy on the other. When the drive wheel is rotated, the water wheel rotates and the three trip hammer stampers are activated in sequence. The tableaux presented by the Toy includes a picket fence at the left and a large tree at the back left hand corner. On the roof of the Mill there are two, full figure white doves. The Toy is unmarked but the manufacturer has been identified as Mohr & Krauss of Nuremburg.
Overall this rare and highly desirable Live Steam Toy Accessory is in very good condition. The Toy is complete and intact with no physical damage or repairs of any kind. The lithographer surfaces are 100% original and very well preserved while the base of the Toy has been repainted. The Toy is in excellent, working condition.

Important Notes about Shipping Charges: The amount quoted for Shipping & Handling is calculated by eBay and is equal to the EXACT amount charged by the Post Office plus a $1.00 "packing fee" - the $1.00 fee is our only compensation for the virgin packing materials we use on all of our professionally packaged boxes as well as our cost for the salaried help that does most of our packing - as I am sure you can see, we make NO profit on the Shipping charges and, in fact, our costs are usually greater than the $1.00 fee. Please contact us if there are any issues regarding the cost of shipping.ATTENTION FRIENDS!!!We are pleased to announce the start up of a second weekly auction by WALNUTTS-2.0!!!
