Zilotone Toy
By Michael Woolf
The Zilotone was a clockwork toy, American, pre-WW2, made of tin. It consists of a clown figure seated at a xylophone (or, I suppose, techni- cally more of a glockenspiel because the bars are metal.) Under the control of changeable discs the clown plays a simple tune.
They're cute! Mine is incomplete - does anyone have a spare clockwork motor for one?
