{"product_id":"primitive-folk-art-cat-and-mouse-whirlygig-toy","title":"Primitive Folk Art Cat-and-Mouse Whirlygig Toy","description":"\u003cp\u003eHandmade wooden whirlygig toy featuring a stylized cat lunging toward a concealed mouse mechanism, mounted along a simple horizontal track system. The cat form is crudely cut with exaggerated posture-arched forward with extended forelegs-capturing a moment of pursuit. A central vertical housing contains the pivoting element, with a small protruding peg and internal wheel suggesting the original wind or push-driven action that would animate the chase. The entire piece is constructed from rough-cut boards with visible grain, square nails, and simple joinery, embodying a purely functional, vernacular approach to toy-making where motion and narrative take precedence over refinement.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nShows heavy wear consistent with age and use, including surface dryness, edge wear, minor losses, and oxidation to fasteners. Mechanism appears intact but untested; movement may be stiff from age.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n18\" W x 4.5\" W x 3\" H\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTW - 19409 - 031726\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor information regarding shipping, please visit our Terms \u0026amp; Conditions page \u003ca class=\"GeneratedLink\" href=\"https:\/\/industrialartifacts.net\/pages\/shipping\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cscribe-shadow data-crx=\"okfkdaglfjjjfefdcppliegebpoegaii\" id=\"crxjs-ext\" style=\"position: fixed; width: 0px; height: 0px; top: 0px; left: 0px; z-index: 2147483647; overflow: visible; visibility: visible;\"\u003e\u003c\/scribe-shadow\u003e","brand":"Industrial Artifacts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43882304241707,"sku":"19409","price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0194\/8170\/files\/4b9e5706-7fc3-5fc3-b8b0-c0bb2f8c9fb4.jpg?v=1775258163","url":"https:\/\/industrialartifacts.net\/products\/primitive-folk-art-cat-and-mouse-whirlygig-toy","provider":"Industrial Artifacts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
