Rare Early 1900’s German Wind-Up Walking Dressed Chicken Man

This furry-haired walking chicken man is only the second one that we have seen. When wound, the chicken moves about on his two metal legs by swinging his hips sideways. The front of the chicken man includes a hand-painted beak, unique cloth robe, and metal shoes that are in very good condition. 

The back of the robe does have some small holes and greater wear than the front. The left hand is missing but as indicated in the picture, the hand only protrudes from the sleeve a little and both arms and hands serve no function for the wind-up mechanism. The head of this 7” tall wind-up is so unique that it will make any place that you decide to display this chicken man a conversation piece.
