SCARCE C. 1950 ' S LineMar " Ham ' N Sam " Tin Litho Wind - Up -
Item History & Price
Offered for sale is a working example of the "Ham 'n Sam" tin litho wind-up toy, made by Linemar c.1950's. The piece measures about 6 1/2" tall x 5 1/2" across and is in excellent condition: the colors and the detail are very strong, and the mechanism works as it should. To operate, wind the key, depress the start-stop lever under the piano keyboard, and the piano player rocks back and forth as his hands skim over the keys while the dancer next to him dances in a circle... with legs and arms waving up and down. There is sheet music on the front of the piano, below which is marked "Linemar- Jazz." On one side of the piano is printed "Solid Jackson Yes yes, " on the other side, "Solid jackson No no, " and on the back is this legend: "Solid Jackson Beat me Daddy- Eight to the Bar Stay off my feet Boy Reel gone Music sends me Harry's got nothing on me New Orleans Beat Yes yes Please don't applaud - just yell Don't stop now"
