Description:

This Microphone Dancing Man was made by the National Company in the US and dates to 1932. It takes 4x D sized batteries to the underside which when switched on vibrates a metal plate effectively causing the man to ‘dance’. In reality it is more toe-tapping than a full dance routine, but the best bit is when you connect the accompanying ‘microphone’ and place it beside a source of music (or use your own voice) it will dance in response. It was intended to work beside a gramophone or radio. The articulated and painted dancer, standing beside a lamppost is on a dance pad. It has a moving mouth, arms and legs.
