Al to check description before publishing. Asahi Corp. Toys Junior Products, battery operated 1/10 scale Lotus 49 Ford F-1 formula race car, rare winged version in excellent working, like new condition. This toy comes with the original box and instruction insert sheet. This is a beautiful, all original toy with the exception of my new reproduction rear wing.????? This is car #29. The toy has been tested and is in perfect working order. It has been in my personal collection for several years and displayed in a glass cabinet with its box. The box is about an 7 on the 1 to 10 scale with a couple of minor tears and creases. The toy has a few minor playwear imperfections but nothing distressing and is still a superior condition example to display. The toy has the original injector cover, some oxidation to the metal wheel inserts, which is common but all in all is a really beautiful toy. Engine screams and very bright flashing bulb lights up the center of the engine. An extremely clean and desirable version of the Gold Leaf Racer that is sure to please. An interesting point to note with this version of the Asahi racer's box description is that it specified the use of "2 D Cell Batteries" for operation, yet the toy actually requires 3 'C' cell batteries. This version also only offers neutral and forward motion whereas the non wing cars offer a neutral, low and high speed transmission.

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!
