Description: | Hand carved, painted and varnished automation with an electro-magnetic mechanism operated with a twopence coin and also requires a power source. Two carved wooden crocodiles, one large and one small stand on the base containing the mechanism, before a carved wooden sink in a natural finish with a mirror above it. When a coin is inserted, the mouth of the large crocodile opens to reveal a figure of a woman cleaning his teeth.
