Hello everyone.
I bought this "dancing monkey" on ebay.
Does anyone know anything about it. It looks incomplete. I'm not even sure if it is a gramophone toy.

It looks like a wind up toy, not a phonograph toy. Phonograph toys don't have clockwork inside, they use the phonograph motor for action...

I sent a message to the seller when it was first listed and advised it was certainly not a phonograph toy but a celluloid toy of a monkey playing guitar and sent him a listing for one. He acknowledged my message but never made a change. Steve
