New Monkey on a Stick or Mephisto
Like the other version, if you hold the stick in one hand and slide the block attached to Mephisto's feet with the other hand, he will perform acrobatics, including turning upside down when the block reaches the top of the stick.

We are changing our Monkey on a Stick. As mentioned in the original writeup for the monkey, in
an engraving in a December, 1860, edition of Godey's, a toy shop is portrayed. Among
all the other toys shown in the picture, there is a picture of a Monkey on a Stick. When we were cruising ebay, we saw an antique monkey which was almost identical to this monkey, including the straight wooden tail (alas, we were outbid or else we could include pictures of that monkey). Even though it is a bit more expensive than the original, we thought that, because it was more authentic in appearance, we would prefer to offer this one.
