Another new accessory for the second generation was a mixer, also available as a separate item. | ||||

This accessory is very unique. Many other toy manufacturers made drop hammers, trip hammers, saws, etc., but I have never seen another manufacturer’s version of this fall hammer. The hammer mechanism is raised to the full height and when released comes down with a crashing thud. | ||||

Three small size first generation Dynamobils with two accessories. The back example is mounted on a tinplate base. The middle example is a typical production piece and the front sample has some of the dullest decoration of the accessories. I would guess that the factory was experimenting or had a shortage of materials with which to lithograph. | ||||

Britain’s Toys With Flywheel Power, circa 1890s Flywheel power has taken a unique approach with these two Britain’s toys, circa very early 1900s. Both “The Walking Elephant” and “The Mikado” disguise the flywheel as an umbrella on these two toys. A string is wound around the top of the umbrella and pulled, setting the flywheel in motion. The elephant actually walks (on wheels) and the Japanese figure fans himself (fan is missing on this example). The umbrellas are made from cast metal and heavy. The Walking Elephant is tinplate with The Mikado being cast metal.
