  • A Nikko USAF Fairchild C120 Friction Pack Plane tin litho toy in excellent, fully working condition. Nose doors open to reveal replacement tank and jeep vehicles. The propellors spin with friction action. There are push buttons that release the main wing segments for shipping and storage.
  • This 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. Arrangements can be made for personal pick up or professional packaging and shipping. The price for this toy is $15000.00 or you are welcome to negotiate an offer.

  • A wonderful Marusan, Japan Sunbeam Motorcycle with Sidecar battery-operated toy in excellent, fully working condition. The Sunbeam operates with two 'D' cell batteries inserted into the sidecar. The sidecar switch operates the headlight, red license plate, taillight and the front running light. Upon battery insertion and without operating the light switch, power is instantly available to the electric motor to power the bike. The bike operates by switch movement on the gas tank. First gear is slow speed, second gear for higher speed and neutral or 'off'. The front fork is steerable and can be positioned for straight or circular motoring direction. These were very sensitive and fragile toys and most became shelf displays due to mishandling. This toy has been thoroughly checked and adjusted for superior function. Truly a delight and a must have for motorcycle collectors and enthusiasts alike!

An awesome toy that has only been owned and operated by me!

This toy is really beautiful and one of my personal favorites! There are two planes available and only one comes with a reproduction box. Please deduct $150 for the non-boxed aircraft.

  • Hot Wheels Legends to Life Don “the Snake” Prudhomme Electronic Funny Car. Scale 1:24. Mint in the box. Matching serial number and paperwork. This phenomenal model is truly a work of art and coupled with the finest electronics at the time of manufacturing, it is unparalleled in quality. Some of the many features of this model are a synchronized cassette tape that coincides with the functions of the car; the lifting of the funny car body, firing sound of the engine, which features flashing header pipes and spinning blower belt on the engine front. Spinning tires, wheelie action, count down lights on the starting line tree, just so many features and actions all working at the same time, and the ability to repeat these actions for continued demonstration. The base unit requires 4 'D' cell batteries for operation. I highly recommend only using fresh, brand-new batteries each time this is operated and NEVER leave the batteries in the base. It is NOT recommended for unsupervised children. The display also offers the ability to run the second feature in manual mode and plays the 'B' side of the tape, which is a conversation/interview with the 'Snake' himself. All in all, there is nothing but action packed into this tremendous offering from Mattel. The serialized model matches the packaging and included documentation and is extremely important to maintaining the overall rarity and value of the item. You can be sure that there are very few of these available in this condition and most are in private collections. No disappointments here!

  • Unassembled 1/20 scale vintage METAL model kit. These kits are a true delight to build.

  • Ford Gas-Turbine Van Friction Motor by M.K.K. Powered by a friction motor. Quality construction, heavy gauge metal. A nicely constructed reproduction box. Known as the Ford Gas Turbine, Experimental Superhighway Truck, this vehicle was designed to be the cutting edge of hauling transportation efficiency in 1964. It featured 600 H.P. and a cruising range of 600 miles. Our featured toy is in lightly played with condition, strong friction motor and opening rear trailer door. It's missing one light from the roof of the trailer (at the moment. I'll see if I can find it or make a new replacement.) This is an extremely collectible toy and had to come by in such nice shape.
