Bidspirit auction | Rare Boy Scout Bell Toy

Rare Boy Scout Bell Toy - Made by Watrous Mfg. Company. East Hampton, Ct. - 1910's - 6” Long. The ”Boy Scout” bell ringer is an extremely scarce and desirable model. It dates to a very early production period for Watrous, as noted by its use of a cast iron frame, rather than one made of sheet steel. In fact, in actuality, it was probably a collaborative effort made by Gong and Watrous just as Gong was phasing their operations out for the Watrous Company takeover. This is very certainly the finest surviving specimen of this rare toy. Condition: Virtually Mint - No Faded Color.
