Walking Tortoise – Classic Wind-Up Tin Toy
The Walking Tortoise is a charming wind-up tin toy and a faithful replica of SUSI Schildkröte by Lehmann (1938–1945). Slow and steady wins the race.
Every tin toy starts out as a flat sheet of metal that is printed and then cut into separate pieces. Each piece is then formed into its final shape through numerous tooling stations. The parts are then hand assembled to create the final toy. So, minor marks and paint flaws can occur.
