Traditional Duck Pull Toy
Sold
NAME: Old traditional Japanese wooden duck pull toy
SIZE: About 4" (10cm) when the head is farthest up and around 4-5/8" (12cm) long
CONDITION: Excellent condition for it's age (probably 30's-40's). The sharp end of a wire that holds the bottom beak sticks out on the right side of the face a bit.
NOTES: Just as kokeshi craftsmen, this trade is handed down from generation to generation. It was probably made by the Tsuta family of toy makers who are also Yajiro kokeshi craftsmen.
The head moves up and down and the beak open and closes as the toy is pulled.
