This one is a strange toy indeed. A tin wind-up pickup with a (fez on his head-) little monkey sitting on his throne on the back wearing some type of a pole (flag ? banner ?).
The doors have decals saying "Circo Apollo, Questafera. Grande Spettacolo". I have seen a similar one with a seal / sea lion on the back, without the chair.
Were there other animals as well ? Was this produced for a real circus as give-away or was this simply part of the assortment of INGAP (Padova - Italy) ?
Anyone having more information about this toy please let me know.
