Ref 770. In the early 20th century, wealthy travelers laden with large trunks would call on these porters, speeding between the station and the hotel. Ernst Paul Lehmann's toy - said to have been inspired by the one previously produced by Fernand Martin - reproduces one of them, in lithographed sheet metal. This is the 2nd version, with 2-part 8-spoke wheels, which can also be identified by its rear litho bearing the reference 770. Produced between 1928 and 1938. Key-operated clockwork movement (integral), with the wheels driving the wearer's legs. Works with difficulty. Very good condition, wear only on the wheels. Dimensions: 16.5 x 13 cm).
