Walking Pig Automaton. Paris: Roullet & Decamps, ca. 1920. Articulated pig with leather-covered body walks forward, turns his head back and forth, and ?oinks? after the mechanism is activated. Serrated wheels extend from feet to assist with walking. 6 x 12?. Hide a bit soiled, but very good condition overall.
