RARE 'TUMBLING SAM' EARLY 20TH CENTURY AMERICAN FOLK ART, VINTAGE PRIMITIVE, RED & GREEN PAINTED, LACQUERED WOODEN SIDERAIL & METAL RUNG LADDER on ROUND STANDS, FIGURATIVE KINETIC MANUAL CHILD'S TOY

[In fine working order. This very rare, antique American painted wood siderail & metal rung child's kinetic ladder toy, seems to be nearly completely undisturbed & would have to be considered to be in very fine condition. The spinning, cascading downwards, hatted 'Tumbling Sam' male figure is without any loss, edge flea-bites or stains. The entire wood & metal toy has a dry, matte finish. It was previously handled but apparently seldom so or at least gently played with by its once young owner. Estate fresh & new to the marketplace. A thrilling discovery. It's 80 to 100 years old & still looks like this & still works! Absolutely incredible.]
