Skunks catches another one, this time at this gamers forum. It's a clockwork tiger, created by this gent in Belgium, whose "about me" page is a lone image:

But back to the tiger:

The tiger actually does walk, albeit a bit awkwardly. See the creator riding it here:

Sundae Tuesday Oct 17 11:59 AMYup, I'd be happy to ride that home from the supermarket. Where do I sign up?

I was hoping that was what it was. Is that Tiger ( in the book) real?
Happy Monkey Wednesday Oct 18 12:41 PMYes. It's in a London museum.
