CONSUL THE EDUCATED MONKEY. This is an ORIGINAL, not a reproduction, lithographed heavy tin. A mechanical multiplication table calculator patented by William Robertson in 1916.. When each of the monkey's feet are moved to point at two numbers, the monkey's hands move to indicate the product. The wrapper is a photocopy.
Apparently Consul was a cigarette smoking star at the turn of the 20th century. He would eat with a knife and fork at a table, ride a little bicycle, and throw things at blond women.

FINDING THE POLE. An extremely rare polar puzzle from the time of the discovery of the North Pole . c.1910.
