Good example of a mid 20th century Adebar tinplate clockwork toy in the form of a stork flying around his nest. It is set on a round tile printed base with the stork's nest printed on the top. The stork itself is mounted on a long pole. He has a plastic type body and thin pressed metal wings. When wound the stork flies in circles around the nest and a button on the base selects whether it glides, flaps its wings or stops it.
Approximate Measurements:
Base Diameter : 6" (15cm)
Height : 5" (13cm)
Length : 15" (38cm)
It is in good condition for its age and displays very nicely with bright vibrant colours. There are some very minor surface marks and light wear but nothing detrimental. There are two small splits on one of the wings (See photo) but no other damages. The clockwork mechanism is strong and the toy works well and comes with its original key.
