Rare Antique Toy Steam Engine Line Shaft Factory Accessories c. 1880s Working
Rare miniature belt-driven workshop tools from a steam engine toy set / painted tin / c. Toy steam engines were popular educational toys for boys and came with a variety of accessories which could be arranged to demonstrate the tiny engines power. Via a belt system, these miniature workshop tools were engineered to function along a line shaft. With toys like these, children could reproduce in miniature the increasingly automated industrial workplaces in which their fathers labored. Here, a miniature saw, an industrial stamping machine, and a grinder come to life with no need for human hands to operate them.
