Teething Monkey

Monkey dexterity toy / tin, glass / c. 1910s

Rare antique dexterity toy, Germany, c. early twentieth century. It’s a grotesque subject and strange task: The player is required to maneuver tiny metal balls to replace the monkey’s missing teeth. All the while, balls simulating the monkey’s eyes, follow your progress from under the glass.

Good antique condition with well-played wear.
