    Description

    For your consideration is this  Ives Jigger Box. I believe
    Ives made the first Jigger toy ever, in the late 1800s. It
    works great, with a super strong clock work. What it needs
    is an old wooden dancer, to complete the toy. The Box is
    6" wide 4 " high , and 4" deep. I did not want to open the
    box for a photo, but the clock work is super heavily built,
    and in very good
    condition. I
    opened once years ago when
    I purchased it. It has on- off pull lever switch, to wind it on
    the side and a
    built in key. The toy winds counter clockwise,
    and the rod goes back and forth instead in a circle. The toy is
    not marked, but I believe Ives was the only one making Jiggers
    at that time.
