It's not in the greatest condition... poor Mammy Yokum is missing her right arm, which makes it mighty hard to conduct the band... but Abner still dances, Daisy Mae plunks a mean piano, and Pappy plays the drums (without any drumsticks). It has some surface rust, but I love it anyway! By Unique Art, 1945.

my grand father collected this that wind up toys there still cool
If I remember my Mammy Yokum, she probably lost her arm after knocking someone into the next county! Really adorable and entertaining items. Thanks for sharing these. DD@Phila
A great example of lithographed tin windup novelty toy. Your cup is more than half full, it looks to be in fine condition.
