Miniature Electric Factory. 1920 Toy In Working Order.

Miniature factory measuring 79 cm long x 39 cm deep. It is the reproduction of a typical factory from the beginning of the century, with its motor that drives the axle with numerous pulleys animating each machine tool using a belt. The engine is in 110v. The spring belts are of the same type as those found in the first popular cinema projectors. There are 7 tools: a drum, a grinder, a punch, a circular saw, a lathe, a double hammer and a drill press. When the factory is plugged in (110v), both street lights come on. They have their original hand blown bulb lamp, carbon filament and work. The rotation of the motor and the seven machines is switched on by opening the switch. It's pretty spectacular. The condition of this toy is excellent. It is perfectly functional. The electricity has been verified. The waxed wooden base has an age crack in the middle. It is, however, solid. Visible in Paris, Republic.
