    This is a Hopalong Cassidy Mechanical Shooting Gallery made by Automatic Toys Co. Staten Island from the 1950s. The Shooting Gallery is made of tin litho and includes a small pouch of steel ball ammo for loading into the gun. With a quick wind of the mechanism to the rear, the 'bad guys on horseback' come riding past on an elastic conveyor belt. Load your ammo into the gun and pick those guys off! The ammo automatically returns for continued play. The toy has had some paint touch-ups but was very well done. This toy was played with and loved but is in marvelous, displayable, and playable condition. An absolute must for your cowboy collector or tin lithography shooting gallery collector!
  • Vintage Unique Art Wind-up Lil Abner and his Dogpatch Band with Original Box. This wonderful, all original wind-up toy spent its life as a kitchen shelf display and saw little to no use. The original cardboard box is very age worn and has been preserved to be used for display purposes with the toy. Be sure to enjoy the You Tube video of this vintage toy in action! Abner dances away while Daisy plunks on the keys of the piano. Granny sits on top to conduct the tunes and Grampy bangs the drum.
  • Made in the 1930s by the Wolverine Supply and Manufacturing Co., the Wolverine Zilotone musical toy features a musician playing a xylophone. Wind the toy and watch the clown move back and forth while hitting the keys with a mallet. The toy comes with one original disc, playing 'My Old Kentucky Home'. The toy winds correctly and the clown moves with his mallet to play the tune. The bottom of the clown's feet have been repaired to hold him in the correct, original operating position. A wonderful, early American toy!
  • Marx Mother Goose lithographed tin wind-up toy. A beautiful, whimsical work of early American tin lithography art that works perfectly when wound. Mother Goose and her favorite feline will prance around the tabletop in a fanciful, hopping fashion. Mother holds the original reins while the goose hops and shakes her head to the motion. This toy has been a beautiful cabinet display piece for many years and a highlight of the Uncle's vintage tin collection.
  • 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!

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!
