These are little windup toys from Germany made just after WWII.The little bird pecks at the ground, the Scottie and the red convertible run amok (!), mouse daddy lifts up his gleeful baby into the air and the clown just sort of jitters. He used to lift his arms with a bunch of balloons, but they were lost over the years. The umbrella was a silly add-on that doesn't really belong.
They were sent to me by my grandmother when I was a toddler, and although worn and tired, they have wonderful memories.
