Stunning antique from the early 20th century. The mechanical tin toy depicts a footballer who rears back and kicks the pigskin. Piece is in superb condition and stands at almost 8-1/2" on a 4 x 6" tin base that reads, "TRADE MARK SANDY ANDY REG. IN U.S. PAT. OFF., FULL BACK, PATENTED DEC. 16 1919." Leather helmeted player is incredibly detailed and colorful, and piece has retained 99% of its original paint. An exceptional vintage display (replaced ball). The toy itself we have encountered before, but the original box is very rare. Tin toy is EX-MT, while the box is VG.
