This sweet Felix Carousel Wind-Up Toy went on the auction block in April and fetched $37,200.00. At that price you wouldn't want children playing with it.
Made in Bavaria, Nuremberg. Working. This is one of the rarest comic character toys ever made and is extremely desirable. This toy is one of only two or three known examples. Marked "SG" for Sam Gunthermann. Depicts Felix the Cat riding in an automobile and on a zeppelin that are attached to the carousel. There is also a figure of Felix that cranks the carousel once the toy is wound on the bottom all while a plink-plink noise is emitted. When carousel is in operation, the depictions of Felix around the top appear to be running in a flip-book-type motion.Via The Queen is not Amused...but I am.
