Cymbal-banging monkey toy

Common card · No. 205651

A cymbal-banging monkey toy (also known as Jolly Chimp) is a mechanical depiction of a chimpanzee holding a cymbal in each hand. When activated it repeatedly bangs its cymbals together and, in some cases, bobs its head, chatters, screeches, grins, and more. There are both traditional wind-up versions and updated battery-operated cymbal-banging monkeys. The cymbal-banging monkey toy is an example of singerie and kitsch.
