The Old Nurse.

Reading edition

Illustration from The Automatic Toy Works Manufacturers of the Best Novelties in Mechanical and Other Toys

This mechanical toy is made to imitate an old negro nurse with a child. Her motions are as natural as life. She holds the child in her hands and when the mechanism is started, (by being wound) she leans backward and forward tossing the child up and down in a most surprising manner. This is a very pleasing toy for children and is very popular.

Price, $2.50.
