      Gebrüder Bing, A.G. Nürnberg, Bayern, Germany. One of the most famous Nuremberg toy manufacturing companies, founded in 1866 by the brothers Ignaz en Adolf Bing. Initially marked by G.B.N. Bavaria; later by G.B.N. and B.W. (Bing Werke). I am no expert, but I would date this in the late teens. It's a beauty.
