(Japan, 1930s) A 5.5" tall Donald Duck Nodder wind-up. The long-billed Donald Duck figure is mounted to a 2.5" diameter base. The separate head is mounted to a nodding mechanism which has an attached counterweight. The piece was manufactured in Japan in the 1930s. The celluloid and metallic toy is in very good condition, exhibiting slight wear to hand-painted areas. The piece retains the original Japan import stamp and a small instruction tag reading "To wind, turn wire under base." The wire/rubber band has broken but can easily be replaced to make the toy function.
