This is a super fun vintage squeeze-action toy made of brightly lithographed tin, featuring two very hungry roosters. This one uses a manual spring-loaded mechanism—when you squeeze the metal loop handles together, the roosters lean forward to "peck" at the goods. Colors still incredibly bold, and the wings are marked with an authentic "China" (中國) stamp, typical of the high-quality tin exports from the 1960s and 70s. It’s in great vintage condition and the squeeze mechanism still has a nice, snappy response. It’s a perfect quirky "fidget" piece for a desk or a great addition to a collection of mid-century mechanical toys and folk art.
