Vintage paper Automaton, Knife grinder

Vintage Paper Automation (L´ Arrotino / Knife grinder), Italy 1936. In the last issue of “Automata Magazin, July / August 2021” I read an article about the paper automaton “Knife Grinder” with great enthusiasm. This model published in 1936 by “Marca Stella“ Italy inspired me to replicate it. Printed on A4 size, it has become a mini model. The connection between the flywheel and the grinding wheel is made with a rubber band.
