Marx Little Orphan Annie Skipping Rope Wind-up Toy

http://www.opamerica.com I AM PRESENTING A VINTAGE MARX LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE SKIPPING ROPE TIN WIND-UP TOY. WITH SENSATIONAL EARLY COLORS LITHOGRAPHING, circa 1930's, in GREAT CONDITION!
This rare find is made of tin and is complete, right down to the original whimsical figure's head, movable jump rope and foot-wheels. Winding mechanism works perfectly.
LITHOGRAPHING IS IN SPECTACULAR CONDITION WITH ALL COLORS VERY BRIGHT! Note there is some light wear on the paint and light scuffs from use.
This extremely hard to find antique wind-up toy is all original and is 5" high. This spectacular piece has the nicest colors that I have seen on this item.
WHEN THE TOY IS WOUND-UP, ANNIE JUMPS ROPE, WITH THE ROPE GOING UNDER THE MOVING TOOTHED-WHEELS THAT ARE UNDER HER FEET! GREAT FUNNY PIECE FROM THE EARLY RADIO ERA! The lithographing is the brightest that I have seen, still retaining the original factory luster. The head, jump rope, legs, and arms are all original; this is rare as they usually have been replaced.
THE JUMP ROPE STILL MAINTAINS IT'S ORIGINAL SHAPE, AS IT IS USUALLY BEND OR DENTED! ALSO, LOOK AT THE FACE PHOTO, MAGNIFICENT!
The original colors are very bright and make a spectacular presentation on a collector shelf. This is a rare antique toy for the high-end collection, or to be displayed by an interior decorator for its whimsical and vintage look! I think it would be a hard task to find a better piece!

That's a really great find! Thanks for making the video. It amused me that the first time she fell down, her jump rope propped her back up. :)

This is great. Almost as good as Wereo.

Most likely the best mechanical toy of the last century.
