GIRL SKIPPING ROPE- J&E Stevens Co., blue dress version, designed by James H. Bowen, patented 5/20/1890. The aim in manufacturing this toy was to produce a prolonged or continuous performance of its amusing features without the aid of an expensive and delicate clockwork mechanism. This was accomplished by inventing a simple, strong and durable motor, by means of which all the results of clockwork are obtained at much less cost and greater durability. The simulation of "skipping the rope" is perfect- the body, head, feet and rope are all moving in unison, but each part performs independently in its own appropriate manner. (Excellent Cond.) $15,000-20,000
