Up for sale is a charming piece of vintage toy history: a Chinese Export clockwork wind-up "Da Gun Mao" (打滚猫 / Rolling/Somersaulting Cat). Manufactured circa the 1970s to 1980s, these lithographed mechanical toys are highly sought after by collectors for their whimsical actions and retro graphic design.

This item features the highly elusive original graphic box, which showcases fantastic, vibrant mid-century style illustrations of the tumbling kitten.

This is a fantastic addition to any collection of vintage tin toys, clockwork memorabilia, or retro advertising art.
