  • 1950s Ichiko Space Patrol battery operated car is in wonderful, working condition! This extremely rare toy has been in my personal collection since 2010, when I received it incomplete and in pieces. It was a very expensive purchase then, simply because the battery-operated version is SO RARE. An excellent quality Space Patrol, with its original box, sold on eBay in 2013 for nearly $32,000. Such a fun toy! When the switch is engaged, the rear drive wheel spins with clicking sound, the radar dish rotates, the Astronaut driver waves his 'No. 1' flag and the space gun on the cowl sweeps back and forth while the gun barrel flashes! The front wheels are poseable so that the car can proceed straight or drive in a circle. The tightest circle is approximately 4 feet. Please watch the You Tube video of the RARE toy in action! The toy has seen extensive playwear and the litho shows age. There has been a little touch up with ink to some of the litho.  The toy was missing parts that Uncle fabricated to complete, such as the radar dish, 'No.1' flag and the flashing gun and mount. The drive mechanism is quite sound and strong. There was considerable wear to the bottom of the car, so it was chemically stripped and repainted and polished. The toy still sports the original windshield and Astronaut head. One new earmuff was fabricated and installed. I'm listing this toy at a very high price due to its rarity. I will entertain reasonable offers, and this is available locally as well as being available for international shipping.
  • 1957 Tonka Tow Truck Official AA Service, a must have by Tonka collectors. This is the third year of the Ford style, round-fender truck toys that Tonka will produce. This pressed steel tow truck is in extremely nice, original condition and shows light playwear. It has never been cleaned (other than dusting) and has never been polished so the extraordinary patina is tremendous! A great piece for your pressed steel toy collection!
  • Vintage Doepke Model Toys (Rossmoyne, Ohio) Euclid Bottom Dump Construction Vehicle, in excellent original condition and procured from the original owner. This excellent condition toy has seen virtually no play action. The paint is nearly flawless and the only item that could be considered a drawback is the reproduction exhaust muffler that has been installed where it belongs. This toy, along with the two Smith Miller Aerial Ladder Fire Truck and Army Materials truck were owned by the same gentleman, who played with these toys very little, yet his parents hung onto them until he was an adult and he kept them all these years. Vintage Doepke Model Toys Company was known for making realistic, heavy construction vehicles that could have almost passed for salesman samples or trade stimulators, primarily because of their accurate sale and operable features. The Euclid Bottom dump is such a vehicle as the cab is fully articulated with steerable wheels and will bend and conform to the landscape when travelling. The dump bed can be loaded with soil and when the vehicle approaches the area for the soil to be dispersed, a lever on the side will dispense the soil exactly as the real machine would do. The Euclid Bottom Dump measures 27 1/2" in length, 7" wide and 7" tall. It is made of heavy gage pressed steel with rubber tires and exhaust. A perfect shelf display for that vintage, heavy construction equipment enthusiast on your shopping list!
  • 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.
  • The Linemar Atomic Submarine is a unique toy that incorporates the imaginative mechanical features of forward movement, directional steering, and the ability to launch spring-assisted plastic missiles over 5 feet in the air! Batteries power the Linemar Atomic Submarine and it has a wired remote control. Please watch the attached YouTube video of this marvel in action! It's a perfectly working toy with 5 of its 6 original missiles and an awesome original box! An excellent collectible for that Navy man in your life, or if you're just a fan of military toys! This is a very near-mint original toy with an excellent original box! No disappointments!

The Nomura Singing Bird Wind Up Tin Litho Toy features a singing bird on the perch of a birdhouse. This is a newer acquisition, fully tested for function with an excellent original box for storage or display with the toy.  Excellent working condition. Includes original box and key. Please enjoy the video! This toy has a very fine, complicated, but well-designed mechanism that I was extremely intrigued with on first encounter. Beautiful and perfect gift for a bird or cuckoo clock lover!
  • 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!
  • 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!
  • 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.
