- Description
- A metal wind-up trolley that is made of lithographed tin and manufactured in Germany. Its name is the “TOONERVILLE TROLLEY” which was a well-known character in Fontaine Fox’s comic strip. The action of the toy simulates the action of the temperamental cartoon trolley. When the spring is wound the trolley moves forward about four feet. The wheels are offset on the axles so the whole trolley rocks back and forth as it moves along. After it moves forward four feet the trolley stops and the conductor, Dan the Skipper, moves his control stick around while the trolley makes noise. After a few seconds of pulling on the control rod, the Skipper gives it a good yank and the trolley moves forward again. There is a fixed key under the trolley on the viewer’s right-hand side from the front, with a wind-up spring mechanism of four different-sized (one large, 3 small) gears and three cogwheels under the trolley, a spring, plus one half-sized gear attached by two metal rods to the conductor. The trolley sits on the mechanism and the four wheels that turn on the axles., move the trolley backwards or and forwards. Both ends of the axle are soldered to a small ‘hubcap’ on each wheel. One of the wheels, the back wheel, on the viewer’s left from the front of the trolley, is severely off-centre (this may be for the rocking motion). The other three wheels have the axle going through the 3.0 cm diameter wheel at centre (1.50 cm); that puts the soldered ‘hubcap’ 1.0 cm radius from the edge, but on this wheel the axle goes through off-centre and from the ‘hubcap’ one side is at a radius 0.50 cm and the other is 1.30 cm. The trolley has a passenger car with three horseshoe arch-shaped windows cut out on both sides, the wavy roof has a separate yellow top (5.0x3.50w cm) with a grey smokestack (on the key side) on viewer’s left, and a wheel which turns on a narrow metal rod in the middle, viewer’s right. Simulated doors and windows are outlined in black on the front and back of the trolley; the blue floor is turned up at either end, creating an open platform, and the outside is red. The front has a bull’s eye outlined in black in the middle. At this end, the front, is the one-dimensional, cut-out conductor, “Dan the Skipper” wearing a blue and white conductor hat, black glasses, red vest, white shirt and beige trousers; he has a white beard and his face and hands are flesh-toned. He has moveable arms; the hand on the viewer’s left (key side), has a hole through which a thin metal rod is connected to the front of the trolley. His hand moves back and forth because the rod is attached to the mechanism underneath; the rod is attached to a gear that connects to the spring. His body is attached to another metal rod to a gear that also connects to the spring. The wavy roof has “TOONERVILLE” on the overhang, “TROLLEY”and “No. 280098” under the open windows, underneath that on the yellow part above the wheels “COPYRIGHT 1922 BY FONTAINE FOX” on both sides. Underneath the trolley’s red bottom platform is printed, viewer’s left (key side), “D.R.P. 257554” and across on viewer’s right side “G.M. 33967”. On the opposite side of the key, viewer’s left ,“PATENT APPLIED FOR.” and on viewer’s right, “MADE IN GERMANY”. A note: the trolley lists to the viewer’s left from the front; it may be partially due to the dent in the roof overhang, but it probably mostly due to the off-centre back left wheel.
