Summary
A brown-grey clockwork acrobatic mouse made by Schuco (circa 1930 to circa 1939). He is covered with velvet, but has felt ears, felt hands, felt red pants and has blue felt shoes. He has a yellow ribbon round his neck. The facial features of eye brows and mouth are in red but the eyes are black beads and the nose is embroidered. The long wire arms are jointed at the shoulders and move in unison. The body contains the clockwork mechanism and the key is inserted at waist level on the mouse's left.
