Vintage KIEV Wooden Handmade Moving Toy Bear Blacksmith Folk Art Automaton USSR

Vintage Soviet KIEV Wooden Moving Toy – Bear & Blacksmith Folk Art Automaton – Working USSR Souvenir

A charming vintage Soviet wooden moving toy featuring a bear and a blacksmith working together at an anvil. This traditional folk-style automaton is made from wood and painted by hand, with a warm rustic look and wonderful collectible character.

The toy is built on two sliding wooden rails. When the rails are gently moved back and forth, the bear and the man alternately raise and lower their small hammers, creating the classic “blacksmiths” motion. It is a delightful example of Soviet folk craft inspired by traditional carved wooden mechanical toys.

The lower wooden rail is marked “KIEV”, indicating Ukrainian Soviet-era production. This makes the piece especially interesting for collectors of USSR toys, Ukrainian vintage souvenirs, folk art, and handmade wooden decor.

Condition:
Very good vintage condition, as shown in the photos. The mechanism is working. There are normal signs of age, light paint wear, and small surface scuffs, which add to its authentic vintage charm. Please review all photos carefully, as they are part of the description.
