The Buffalo Toys Hy-Lo Ferris Wheel was the very first Ferris Wheel toy known to be produced in the United States. The toy was produced from the mid to late 1920's. The toy was created to resemble The Great Ferris Wheel, built for the 1893 World Fair. The toy has six revolving carriages, and each car is shown with eight people in the standing position, which was how passengers were carried in the Great Ferris Wheel. The toy is all tin and utilizes a spring and twisted metal rod propulsion system. As the twisted rod is pulled straight up through the trap doors, tension from the spring pulls the rod back down into the tower, turning the two-inch gear and spinning the wheel. Buffalo Toys used this mechanism in several of their other toy offerings. This Ferris Wheel has been in my personal collection for several years and is in very fine condition for a 100-year-old toy!

Out of stockThis RARE, Wuco Racer comes from the private collection of a dear friend who has been collecting toy cars for over 50 years. This is a nearly flawless, RARE race car and is 100% all original. The friction motor mechanism is strong and smooth. It is huge at 20" in length and 7" high to the top of the driver's helmet. This is the last known use of the Yonezawa Champion's Racer stamping dies from the 1960's. Prior to this offering by Wuco, the dies were used by Gem of France, who created and sold the #42 Super Racer. As I have owned and sold all versions of this large toy, this particular example is one of the finest I've ever seen. Zero disappointments and an absolute 'must have' for the serious Indy car collector. Additional photos will be provided to interested buyers. Please feel free to ask. 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.

Out of stockShooting Cowboy in a Barrel is a rare, battery-operated, wired remote-controlled tinplate toy made by Swallow Toys, Japan. Features 3 actions: the barrel moves forward; the cowboy raises up and shoots the guns that also light up. Then, he drops back into the barrel and moves a little closer to his target! This is a next to impossible to find, rare cowboy battery operated toy that becomes a hallmark piece for serious collectors!

A Smoky Bear remote-control, battery-operated toy made by SAN Co. (Marusan) of Japan in the 1950s. Smoky has 4 actions. He walks forward while raising and lowering his pipe. The pipe lights up and he exhales smoke from his mouth. The battery box is clean! The body is plush with tin litho parts and accessories. Check out the video of this marvelous toy. As with many American copywritten, iconic names and institutions, Smokey the Bear was not immune from shameless hustle. Marusan got around the legal aspects of this by removing the 'e' from the Smokey name and by labeling the toy's hat with the word 'Pioneer', all the while mimicking the Smokey the Bear full wardrobe, complete with shovel! The ultimate in irony, Smoky Bear has a light up pipe and blows smoke like a chimney!
