Le Friquet, a wonderful toy produced in France around 1890.
Original box with label and instructions which read 'This apparatus acts (sic) either on a lamp, a gas burner or a stove'.
In great working condition, the toys is made of metal, the clown acrobat is made of paper and it is amazing that it has survived.
I have shown the toy fitted to the glass chimney of a kerosene or oil lamp.
The box is 28 cm x 12.5 cm x 3.5 cm or 11" x 5" x 1 1/2", the toy when set up is 29 cm or 11 1/2" tall, the clown is 11 cm or 4 1/4"
