"Le Petit Livreur" Windup Toy Fernand Martin
Version with Grand Hotel Trunk. By the Fernand Martin Company. France - 1910 - 7" Long x 7" Tall. In this rare version of Martin's iconic delivery boy, a lithographed tin trunk is attached to the skiff with the travel destination "Grand Hotel - Paris" marked on the side. Presumably, this functioned as a candy container that was sold at the Grand Hotel during Christmas holidays. There are very few known examples of this toy.
