Rare 1904 Ferdinand Martin Painted Tin Wind-Up - “The Barber”

This highly sought-after wind-up is in very good condition. The painted barber and bald customer captures the poses and actions that explains why this great toy is so unique. 

When wound, the barber appears to be pouring a hair tonic on the bald customer's head. The original clothing is present. There are some little stains on the barber’s shirt and the side of the customer's smock. There is also a chip near the barber’s painted lips and mustache. 

The toy measures about 8 ¼” high. If you know anything about “The Barber” and Martin’s early tins, you will want this great piece in your collection.
