This is a beautiful, Smith Miller L Mack Aerial Ladder Fire Truck, ALL 100% Original and in fantastic shape! I acquired this toy from the original owner, who played with this (very little) as a child. The fine detail casting of Smith Miller toys is undeniably some of the early best in existence. The L Mack Fire Truck has a few paint scrapes but retains most of its original shiny red finish. We cleaned and restored this toy very lightly, with no paint touch ups at all. We disassembled and cleaned the ladder assembly, and inspected, lubed, and tested the gear box for function. Sporting the original ladder strings, the ladder fully extends as it should. All gears function as they should, with the exception of the rear tiller wheel that is naturally stationary. This massive toy measures a whopping 36" in length and the ladder extends over 48". It also comes with its original two-piece extension ladder mounted in the trailer. Another impressive early triumph for the Smith Miller Company. As a side note, when this toy was first released to the public in the 1950's, it had a resale value of $50 and was a toy that was considered for wealthier families. This will be an excellent addition to any large diecast or pressed steel truck collection, fire truck collection or as a gift for that collector of fire equipment memorabilia.

This is a beautiful, Smith Miller L Mack Military Materials Truck, ALL 100% Original and in fantastic shape! I acquired this toy from the original owner, who played with this (very little) as a child. The fine detail casting of Smith Miller toys is undeniably some of the early best in existence. The L Mack Military has a few paint scrapes but retains its original flat patina, olive green paint, original canvas and tie down string (NEVER REMOVED!), two large wooden crates and two wooden barrels. I believe it originally came with three barrels. This would be an excellent addition to any large diecast or pressed steel truck collection, or as a gift for that Military or Armed Forces collector of memorabilia.

Yonezawa Lincoln Sundeck Convertible XL 500 - This stunning, friction drive concept car is a very rare and desirable TEAL color model. The Sundeck is more commonly seen in a bright red or bright blue color. This is one of the many Yonezawa concept tin friction cars made in the late 1950's. The original tinted canopy is in remarkable original condition and the toy finish has very few minor imperfections. Very little tire wear, excellent friction power and the faint painted script is quite clear on the bottom side of the car. This is one of Uncle's most prized possessions! For those that already own a Sundeck and need a replacement canopy, Uncle Al's Toys is your only source for a replacement!

Out of stockThis is an awesome, Marx Whistling Spooky Kooky Tree from the early 1960's. To operate the toy, insert 3 'D' cell batteries into the base of the toy. When activated, the tree comes to life with Bump N Go action, piercing whistling sound, moving eyes and arms and rocking treetop. The toy is in marvelous, original working condition and is a valuable collectible. The litho is crisp and the toy has very few surface imperfections. This nearly 16" tall MONSTER TREE is always a fan favorite for vintage toy collections and vintage Halloween toy collectors. No disappointments!

CIJ Alpha Romeo P2 Series 3, Chuck Davis Collection This listing is for a 1935 France, CIJ Alfa Romeo P2 wind up race car. This is the final (Series 3) run of the P2 cars from CIJ. The car was sold with fewer embellishments, such as shock absorbers, brake drums and the clover leaf bonnet decal. The car also sported a different tire tread pattern. This particular toy is consigned from the personal collection of Mr. Charles Davis, a noted Indy car collector and restorer of vintage Miller racing machines. Mr. Davis also collected and commissioned large scale models of some of the most famous and unique Indianapolis race cars from the early 1900's through the 1960's, all in 1/6th up to 1/4 scale. Some of you may have been fortunate enough to have visited Chuck's museum at Washington Island, Door County Wisconsin, and glimpsed his fabulous, vintage Miller race cars and collectibles. Our hope is to bring these models to availability this upcoming holiday season! This CIJ Alfa, at some earlier point in its life, has been over painted. We've tried to highlight the most discrepant areas that show runs and defects. The defects are most noticeable where the original painted numbers and decals were applied. Fortunately, the paint color used was extremely close to the original color and really isn't that detracting. But for the discerning collector, these facts must be noted here. The wind-up mechanism is strong and works well. The steering also works as it should. The radiator cap is missing (but available as a reproduction part) and all four tires have a single flat spot from years of sitting. All in all, this is a wonderful piece with great provenance and closing in on 90 years old! As this is a consignment piece, interested customers please contact me through the website email before making the purchase.

New Era Toys Marv Silversteen Unida Biscuit Delivery Van OOAK! This is another toy from the amazing collection of my friend, Richard Carmosino. This Marv Silversteen special is a true One Of A Kind collectible from New Era Toys. Sadly, Marv passed away in 2011 and many of his fantastic creations were auctioned by Bertoia Auctions in 2013. I have no idea how Richard came about owning this, but it is a truly beautiful creation based on the 1920's Buddy L cab and frame. Unfortunately, the toy was displayed in such a way that the artwork on one side of the toy has faded from sun exposure. The other side still has original, vibrant colors. That aside, New Era collectibles are skyrocketing in value due to their unique subject matter and high-quality production. This is an awesome, LARGE pressed steel creation that is a stand-alone piece and has been numbered by Marv. You will never see another like it! The toy measures 25" in length, 9" wide and is 13" tall.

Out of stock1929 Buddy L #208 Transportation Company Bus, 100% Original - This is one of the finest, all original, heavy pressed steel toy busses that you will ever see. This Buddy L Transportation Coach is in incredible, 100% original, unrestored condition with the original leather pull cord still attached. At an impressive 30" length, it's one of the largest toy busses ever produced. The toy has minor surface imperfections and there is mild wear to the original aluminum wheels. As this was also considered a 'ride on' style toy, the steerable front wheels were operated by the riding child turning the spare tires on either side of the front cowl. The toy features steerable wheels and both left and right front opening doors. The original paint is time aged but remarkably few chips or imperfections. The original decals are at 90%. Plated surfaces are tarnished and left unrestored. This is a true museum piece that was acquired from a reputable, world travelled dealer of fine antiquities. There are no disappointments here. Additional photos are available on request and please, only serious inquiries answered. This toy can be purchased through direct contact ONLY and acceptable payment will be by bank draft, direct wire transfer or verified personal check.

This extremely rare CIJ France Alfa Romeo P2 Wind Up Race Car DD GREEN was manufactured between the years 1925 and 1935. This comes from the private collection of a dear friend who has been collecting toy cars for over 50 years. Though the toy shows age, the patina is tremendous and is 100% all original. The wind-up mechanism is still functional and strong, the steering operates by the steering wheel and also works. I will include one of Uncle Al's custom-made wind-up keys with the purchase. Please don't confuse this toy with the re-issue Alfa P2. Quality wise, there is no comparison. Many of the details that made the original toy so authentic to the real Alfa P2 racer are missing from the re-issue. Pay particular attention to the wheels, grills and decals and you'll see what I mean. Due to the nature of this item, interested buyers need to contact me for purchase. Payment may be made by cash, good personal check, money order / cashier's check or bank wire transfer ONLY. Arrangements can be made for personal pick up or professional packaging and shipping. The price for this toy is $11500.00 or you are welcome to negotiate an offer.
