The Story of the Toy: Designed by M. K. Perker. A pin badge featuring one of the figures designed with inspiration from the museum collection. The story of La Jamais Contente is as follows: La Jamais Contente (Never Satisfied) is a toy of the first automobile to reach 100 km. This record-breaking car did not escape the notice of the famous toy manufacturer Ernst Paul Lehmann, who was an avid newspaper reader. Lehmann, who was looking for a new toy design at that time, saw Camille Jenatsky’s car in the newspaper pages and liked it very much, so he produced a toy car very similar to it. The names of the cities to be visited on an imaginary world tour are written on this toy, and Istanbul is among them.
