Balance Toy - Fly Fisherman

Toys inspired by and demonstrating aspects of science were popular in Victorian times.

Balance Toys were originally called skyhooks, effortless counter-weighted toys that could be set on a shelf or the rim of a table, and set in motion to everybody's delight and amazement.

Whatever the moment, one thing is certain. This catch will never happen… nor will the monster fish catch his smaller siblings. This Fly Fisherman trying to catch a fish is made with amazing craftsmanship, expertly distressed and aged to make it resemble those favorite toys from yesteryear.

This balance toy is hand crafted and forged out of iron and tin and painted with several layers of paint giving it a rich, solid feel. Tole objects are characterized by their richness of paint and texture.

It comes complete with a desktop stand. Only need a nudge now and then, while thinking smugly back to the last prize-haul of rainbow trout.
