A rocking bell toy in the upper left, possibly by A. Bergmann, features a tin elephant and lion. The running monkey at upper right is by the Gong Bell Company. Below, on the right, is a pull toy that activates an elephant turning a crank with his trunk causing the monkey to perform on a high bar, while striking an inverted bell with his cap. At bottom left is a rider about to mount his horse; when rocked, the clappers beneath each figure rock to ring the bell in the center.
