Fantastic set of three "MADE IN GERMANY" steam engine powered tin litho toys. The two men are each marked on the ankle "MADE IN GERMANY" (see pic#3 mans rear leg on ankle). The three toys are in excellent condition with a little dust and minor grime. The striking anvil is on a wooden base and is bout 5 1/2 by 2 1/4 inches, and is 2 3/8 inches high. When the pulley is turned the striker hits the anvil. The man sawing the large wooden keg is 4 3/16 by 2 1/4 inches and just over 4 inches high. There are 4 teeny in the making holes in each corner so that this toy could be fastened down to a block of wood. When pulley is turned the blade rotates and the keg in his hand also rotates on the blade. The third is a man standing near a large pole that moves up and down when the pulley is turned. This is 4 3/16 inches by 2 1/4 inched and about 4 3/8 inches high. It too has the four tiny holes so it can be fastened to a block of wood. All are in excellent condition with extremely minor wear from play. They are very very clean, the colors are crisp, and the toys are in working order.
