This is a remarkable and historically significant set featuring the original Monkey Shines climbing toy, its official U.S. patent documents, and a vintage photograph of its inventor, Joseph Alan Banzhaf. This set includes:
The Monkey Shines game, a self-operating metal climbing toy designed to entertain with safe, colorful construction.
Two official U.S. patent documents, including one from 1950 (Design Patent No. 159,135) and another from 1951 (Utility Patent No. 2,568,908) granted to Joseph Alan Banzhaf and Rudolph C. Blaich. These patents outline the innovative mechanism behind this weight-operated toy.
An original black-and-white photograph of the inventor, adding a rare personal touch to this collectible set.
The original Monkey Shines box and instructions from the Emporium Products Co., a company known for its unique mechanical toys.
This is an extraordinary collector’s piece, ideal for vintage toy collectors, patent enthusiasts, or those interested in mid-century American ingenuity. A rare opportunity to own not only the toy but also its documented origins and the legacy of its inventor.
