    Description

    You are viewing a 1900's Cast Iron Gong Bell "Bear in sweater" pull toy.
    The wheels are cast iron and very ornate.
    The platform that the bear is standing on looks like tree limbs meshed together and he is standing on a stump.
    The toy depicts a bear in a sweater with bells attached to it's paws by a wire.
    As the toy was pulled forward the bear would rotate back and forth by a wire mechanism attached to the axle. His paws would hit the bell that was supported by the metal shaft that sticks up in front of him making the notorious "Gong Bell" sound.
    It is missing the Gong and the metal shaft under the bear to the axle. It does have some repairs to the back of the platform as seen in the photos.
    The toy measures 8 1/2 inches by 5 inches tall by 3 1/2 inches wide.
