Clockwork fencers

This strange amusement depicts two miniature Xoxyte fencers made of finely crafted metal standing on a handsome and sturdy base of wood. When the crank on the back is wound and released, some mechanism makes them dart back and forth at one another with their swords in a pantomime of combat. One must wonder why someone with the ability to create such incredible artifice would spend their time designing toys and baubles such as this.
