Hand-Painted Man on Skis Tin Toy - Propellor Blade on his Back. Probably made by Gunthermann. Germany - 1910's - 8” T x 6” L. This is a scarce and intriguing German painted novelty toy. It portrays a cross country skier holding a single long pole in his hands. When wound up, the propellor spins forcibly, thus causing him to move forward as if he is pushing himself across the snow.
