Beautiful pyramid-shaped display with original stenciling and graphics. The peak is made of lithographed cardboard and sits on a wood base with the body and base being made of cherry and stained red. The wood base hides a wind-up mechanism which, when wound, turns the body of the display. Marked "Made in Germany". The top advertises they've been in business for over 54 years which would put the date of this display at about 1911. Provenance: The collection of Russell and Darlene Snyder. 32"H x 10 1/2"W x 10 1/2"D Sliver of wood on corner of base replaced. Some minor loss to litho on cardboard at top. Very good overall condition.
