 SPRING, 1882. 
 
 [E present this revised and enlarged edition of onr 
 Illustrated Catalogue to the Trade, confidently 
 believing that it will be of service in the selection of 
 Mechanical Toys and Novelties which have gained so 
 great favor and are now so popular in this country and 
 abroad- In style, finish and dress of our figures, we have 
 made very many improvements and have added several new 
 kinds to our list. In the partiality which has been uni- 
 versally shown in favor of onr Toys, and the constantly 
 increasing demand for them, we find an incentive to more 
 than sustain their reputation in the future. 
 
 The Toys represented in this Catalogue are all mechani- 
 cal and are set in motion, on being wound up, by patent 
 movements. 
 
 Each Toy is packed in a substantia^ wooden box, and 
 will be sent, postpaid, to any address on receipt of price, 
 where our goods are not found with dealers. 
 
 Discount rates sent to the trade on application.

 T^e }JLe£\&r\i6hl <Bekt<. 
 
 This wonderful toy imitates the movements of a bear, by means 
 of clock-work, in the most life-like manner. The bear rises up on 
 its hind legs, turns its head from side to side, growls, moves its 
 paws, and snaps its jaws together. At intervals it gets down on its 
 fore-paws and goes through similar motions. It runs a long time, 
 and while going it is difficult to believe it is not alive. It is ele- 
 gantly made, and covered with fine fur. The mechanism is so 
 strong and perfect, that only the greatest abuse can put it out of 
 order. It amuses old as well as young, and is exceedingly attractive 
 for a show window. It is conceded to be one of the most ingenious 
 toys ever invented, on account of its variety of motion and resem- 
 blance to nature. Made in black and white fur. 
 
 Trice, $4.25.

 THE DELIGHT OF ALL GIRLS.— A CHARMING TOY, AND 
 BEAUTIFULLY FINISHED 
 
 A little girl is seated at a cabinet sewing-machine. On winding 
 up the mechanism her feet begin to work the treadle, and the sewing- 
 machine begins to sew rapidly; she leans forward, puts the work in 
 position, watches it, occasionally rising up and bringing the work up 
 to examine it. These movements are repeated for a long time. 
 The little figure is elegantly dressed in the latest fashion. It com- 
 bines the attractiveness of a beautiful French doll with the interest 
 of life-like motion. 
 
 Price, $3.50.

 Old "Uyie Tom, 
 
 THE COLORED FIDDLER. 
 
 We consider this toy one of the most comically quaint of anything 
 yet made. When seen in motion, laughter is irresistible. The 
 old fellow commences the performance by slowly rocking backward 
 and forward, as if debating what he should play, then suddenly he 
 strikes his "favorite," and rolling his head from side to side, fiddles 
 in an ecstacy of enjoyment. Funny as it is, there is something 
 almost pathetic in it, too. This toy is well and carefully made, and 
 with ordinary care will last for years. 
 
 Price, $2.50

 ¥he delebfkted ^e^fo fVekchei 4 . 
 
 He stands behind a desk, and slowly straightening himself up, 
 turns his head from side to side and gestures vigorously with his 
 arm. As he warms to his worjt, he leans forward over the pulpit, 
 and shakes his head and hand at the audience, and vigorously 
 thumps the desk. The motions are so life-like and comical that one 
 almost believes that he is actually speaking. The face and dress 
 alone provoke irresistible laughter. He preaches as long as any 
 preacher ought to, and stops when he gets through. 
 
 Price, $2.50.

 Old &unt Ch>e, 
 
 THE NEGRO WASHERWOMAN. 
 
 Old Aunt Chloe demonstrates that happiness may be found in a 
 wash tub as well as in a palace. She is faithful at her toil, and we 
 commend her to our young ladies as an artist of no mean pretentions, 
 after whom they may pattern if they choose to revive and become 
 proficient in one of the lost accomplishments. 
 
 Price, $2.50.

 T^e Old >ftu#e. 
 
 This mechanical toy is made to imitate an old negro nurse with 
 a child. Her motions are as natural as life. She holds the child in 
 her hands and when the mechanism is started, (by being wound) she 
 leans backward and forward tossing the child up and down in a 
 most surprising manner. This is a very pleasing toy for children 
 and is very popular. 
 
 Price, $2.50. 
 
^ir\d Wing, 
 
 A MELICAN MAN. 
 
 This image, with its shaven head, long queue and quaint look- 
 ing dress, gives a striking and life-like picture of a Chinese Laun- 
 dryman. Wheh at work, he bends over the tub, and rubs the gar- 
 ment which he holds in his hands with a naturalness so perfect he 
 might easily be mistaken for a real Celestial. 
 
 Prive, $2.5 O.

 "THE HEATHEN CHINESE. 
 
 This piece is similar to the Laundryman represented on the 
 opposite page. It shows Ah-Sin with a smoothing iron, putting the 
 polish upon a gentleman's linen. The mechanism of these novelties 
 is so perfectly made, that only the greatest abuse can put them out 
 of order. 
 
 Price, $2.50.

 ¥he Cok^tef. 
 
 A simple and attractive toy for small boys. Represents a colored 
 boy on his sled, which, by means of a mechanical movement, when 
 wound up, goes skimming along in a direct line, or in circles, ac- 
 cording to the setting of a steering apparatus, attached to the rear of 
 the sled. Nicely packed in a neat wooden box. 
 
 Price, $1.00. 
 
Tl\e f)fuii|rr\ef Soy. 
 
 This is also an attractive piece for small boys. It consists of a 
 three-wheeled carriage, which supports the figure of a little man with 
 cymbals and drum, which are alternately struck and beaten as the 
 wheels revolve by propulsion. 
 
 Price, $1,00,

 A QUAINT AND AMUSING TOY. 
 
 A man grinding scissors. When wound up he holds his scissors 
 against the rapidly revolving stone, at the same time working the 
 treadle with his leg. He stoops over his work, at intervals 
 straightens up, and examines the scissors. It is very entertaining. 
 
 Price, $2.0O,

 T^e Won}kqy f(i^ &dvo<&te. 
 
 In presenting this advocate to the public, and remembering with 
 satisfaction the cordial reception our sterner suffragists and 
 preachers have received, and believing in every respect she is their 
 equal, we shall hope to receive as many calls for her. This woman 
 will not insist upon the last word. Societies supplied with advo- 
 cates on short notice. 
 
 Price, $2.50.

 T^e Sftij^t kt ^ Wotfk. 
 
 This figure represents an artist in his studio in an effort to surpass 
 Raphael. He is dressed in his morning gown and smoking cap, and 
 appears to be very much engaged with his painting. He surveys, in 
 different lights, his incompleted work of art, which rests on a small 
 easel, and then commences to paint with all the confidence of one of 
 the old masters. This is a deservedly popular toy. 
 
 Price, $3.00.

 (^fkqdniotlief f\o6kix\^ dfkdle. 
 
 This domestic picture is perfect in miniature. No grandmother, 
 with all her experience, ever rocked a cradle more naturally or with 
 more tranquilizing effect. While she rocks the cradle with her foot, 
 with one hand she fans the infant sleeper, and with the other hand 
 wipes her face with the handkerchief, and occasionally turns her 
 head and views the situation with approval. 
 
 This is a combination of the toys most coveted by little girls. 
 
 Price, $3.50.

 ¥he Itkliki\ Of^kq Gfctrtderf, 
 
 This devotee of classical music discourses several popular airs, 
 in perfect imitation of his larger brethren. While turning the crank 
 he occasionally shakes his head at the monkey which dances upon 
 the organ, and frequently passes his little cap for contributions. 
 The musical instrument is of the best Swiss manufacture. 
 
 Price. $6.0O.

 THE BEST DOLL EVER MADE. 
 
 This unique toy, when wound up, creeps and imitates the move- 
 ments of a baby in the most natural manner, moving its hands and 
 feet alternately as it passes along, and as it occasionally turns its 
 face towards the spectator, the resemblance to life is almost start- 
 ling. Delights and pleases both old and young. Durably and 
 elegantly made. Each doll is carfully packed in a substantial wooden 
 box. Parents and friends of little girls send for one of these delight- 
 ful dolls. 
 
 Price, $5,00.
