Mechanical Football Kicker. United States, c. 1920's. The spritely colorful and robust figure of cast metal, leaning forward to repeatedly kick a ball to the delight of any young boy. The moving leg pulls back and then is released by lever on the base. The "ball" stand slides forward or back, probably to adjust to kickable objects of various sizes. Object painted in primary colors: green base, red and orange-gold uniform, with pinkish flesh-colored skin. Probably U.S.A. made; no manufacturer or import marks to be seen. Complete, in fully working order, and very fine condition with about 80% of the original paint intact. Height: 8-1/4".
Estimated Value $175 - 275.
