Antique 1850 Dancing Sand Toy Automation

c1850 German made Sand Toy. Inside a paper box with glass front, a little hand colored paper doll hangs gingerly on a brass wire. Once the box is tipped and the sand inside fills an upper cone reservoir, it streams out thru a peep hole, that in turn moves a paper paddlewheel, and this moves the wire causing her to dance~ really a neat antique toy! You can see still pictures on my blog,
