Cow and calf pendulum toy
Movements of the figurines caused by the pendulum
Pendulum toys were produced from the end of the 19th century to the start of the 20th century. This toy cow lowers its head to the trough when the pendulum swings, while the calf lifts its head up to drink milk. The wooden ball was produced on the lathe by making balls shaped like on a string of pearls and then separating them from each other. In 1877, there were 300 foot-powered and 60 water-powered lathes in Gröden.
