  • 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.
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • The Sonsco Ichido Gypsy Fortune Teller is a battery operated toy produced by Ichida, Japan. A coin placed in the coin slot activates the toy. She has several movements, including a fortune card drops from her sleeve. This is an absolutely stunning, original toy. Unfortunately, it doesn't have all of the original cards as there were 10 each for boys and girls.  Specifically, there are 3 original boy cards and 2 original girl cards. Gypsy's robes are nearly factory-perfect with the original red lace trim and pearl necklace, and she also has her original red cloth and crystal ball. The gypsy, as shown in the You Tube video, operates perfectly and dispenses the fortune cards in perfect order. In fact, when I found this toy, she sprang to life after a light dusting and a little cleaning of the battery contacts! Probably the nicest I've owned in my 40+ years of collecting! Additionally, if you have an original box. this is the perfect complement to complete your collectible! Zero disappointments here!

  • 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!
