And some look like they were specifically designed to make a child laugh and an adult slightly nervous. This wonderfully graphic tin lithograph crank toy was made by Kirchhof in Newark, New Jersey, and features a bright yellow clown or jester stretched across the red-orange top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurn the wooden side crank and the internal figure moves beneath the opening. The mechanism is currently operable, which is always a welcome surprise in a toy approaching its hundredth birthday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe side is marked PATENTED NOV. 27, 1928 - NO. 1,693,140. It measures approximately 4 1\/2 inches long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Working antique condition with paint loss, scratches, scuffs, oxidation, darkened areas, wear around the openings, and age-related wear to the wooden crank. The mechanism operated when tested, but antique mechanical toys should be handled gently and are sold as collectibles rather than modern playthings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Antique Dealer's Daughter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43846712885322,"sku":"M-0723-04","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/7893\/9722\/files\/20260723_210132.jpg?v=1784938843","url":"https:\/\/antiquedealersdaughter.com\/products\/1928-kirchhof-clown-crank-tin-toy-working","provider":"The Antique Dealer's Daughter","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
