Question about an Ebay Ragtime Rastus

Post by Bruce »

Has anyone seen a Ragtime Rastus like this one before?

The mechanism appears to be new but I do not see any reference to this dancing doll in the Rolf's book.

I think this doll could be home made - might originally have been a limberjack figure like this:
