Description: | This penny toy depicts two monkeys that move when a central lever is pressed. It was made in Germany, the heart of the tinplate toy industry, and imported into London where it was sold to Ernest King by a street vendor in Ludgate Hill. Ernest King bought over 1,700 penny toys and novelties from London street vendors, recording every purchase made. In his catalogue he notes this toy was acquired on 2 December 1905. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | work Leisure Home and Family | Temporal: | 1905 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
