MIKADO- (3860-A) Mfg. attributed to Kyser & Rex Co., Phila. PA, c. 1886. Rare, blue table version, little known of its origins, although it did appear in the Selchow & Richter catalog of 1886, described as richly painted & decorated, with sweet chime of bells heard when lever is turned. Action involves placing coin under hat in the Mikado's right hand, turning lever, coin disappears, then reappears under hat in his left hand. Truly ingenious design, casting of table & Mikado well finished with great detail. (Excellent) $55,000-65,000
