Turtle Friction Toy

Unusual small papier mache turtle friction toy in fine condition with original paint.  6" long from tip of tail to tip of head and 3 1/2" wide across back of shell.  When pushed across a flat surface the wheels on the bottom move the head, legs and tail.  A rare survivor, dating to the late 19th or early 20th century.  (CI-39)
