Tricycle and Figure - Mechanical Floor Toy. A late Victorian child's toy featuring a doll with a composite head, in Victorian costume, seated on a front-wheel-cranked tricycle, the rear axle housing a lever-wound mechanical movement driving both rear wheels, its cover with an embossed letters 'LB' in brass. The Tricycle created from green-painted tin and brass, with solid rubber red tyring. The doll possesses her original clothes, skirt, pantaloons, jacket and bonnet, of 1890s style. The clothing is in very good condition, and the doll is in excellent condition, save for some light scratching to the face. The mechanics have received fastidious and professional attention in recent years, bringing this toy to working order. 16-inches (41cms) high and 14-inches (36cms) long.
