Le Charcutier – The Butcher -The Number 187 from 1901

Produced from 1901
Product number 187
Hand lacquered
Mechanism: clockwork
Height approx. 20 cm / 7,9 inches

After winding up the mechanism, he working in his butcher shop and hits the meat with his knives on the chopping block to mince it.
I have also seen one with a large cap on his head but I think this was added later by a hobbyist, all the other examples do not have a cap.
