Climbing Banker

These traditional hand made and hand painted wooden toys have been made for years in Austria and Germany. Often the figure showed an alpine climber, and as you alternately tightened and released the string, the little figure would climb up the string.

This design has a slightly more modern twist, since the figure seems to be a banker, holding a briefcase full of money! As you tighten and release the string, he climbs up into the clouds – with your money!
