Lehmann Duo Rooster and Rabbit Cart Wind Up toy in marvelous shape. This wonderful, whimsical toy from the early 1920's is pure joy to display as fine art! The original lithography is in excellent shape and the wind-up mechanism is strong. In general, the biggest complaint about this toy is the poor performing walking action of the rooster and the drive wheel's tendency to just spin without gaining traction. Because of these issues, these toys spend the majority of their lives sitting on shelves, just to be admired. Our Duo Rooster and Rabbit is 100% original, with the exception of Mr. Rabbit's ears which were fabricated by Uncle Al. This is sure to delight Lehmann toy collectors or collectors of toy animals from the early 20th century.

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.

CIJ Alpha Romeo P2 Series 3, Chuck Davis Collection This listing is for a 1935 France, CIJ Alfa Romeo P2 wind up race car. This is the final (Series 3) run of the P2 cars from CIJ. The car was sold with fewer embellishments, such as shock absorbers, brake drums and the clover leaf bonnet decal. The car also sported a different tire tread pattern. This particular toy is consigned from the personal collection of Mr. Charles Davis, a noted Indy car collector and restorer of vintage Miller racing machines. Mr. Davis also collected and commissioned large scale models of some of the most famous and unique Indianapolis race cars from the early 1900's through the 1960's, all in 1/6th up to 1/4 scale. Some of you may have been fortunate enough to have visited Chuck's museum at Washington Island, Door County Wisconsin, and glimpsed his fabulous, vintage Miller race cars and collectibles. Our hope is to bring these models to availability this upcoming holiday season! This CIJ Alfa, at some earlier point in its life, has been over painted. We've tried to highlight the most discrepant areas that show runs and defects. The defects are most noticeable where the original painted numbers and decals were applied. Fortunately, the paint color used was extremely close to the original color and really isn't that detracting. But for the discerning collector, these facts must be noted here. The wind-up mechanism is strong and works well. The steering also works as it should. The radiator cap is missing (but available as a reproduction part) and all four tires have a single flat spot from years of sitting. All in all, this is a wonderful piece with great provenance and closing in on 90 years old! As this is a consignment piece, interested customers please contact me through the website email before making the purchase.

New Era Toys Marv Silversteen Unida Biscuit Delivery Van OOAK! This is another toy from the amazing collection of my friend, Richard Carmosino. This Marv Silversteen special is a true One Of A Kind collectible from New Era Toys. Sadly, Marv passed away in 2011 and many of his fantastic creations were auctioned by Bertoia Auctions in 2013. I have no idea how Richard came about owning this, but it is a truly beautiful creation based on the 1920's Buddy L cab and frame. Unfortunately, the toy was displayed in such a way that the artwork on one side of the toy has faded from sun exposure. The other side still has original, vibrant colors. That aside, New Era collectibles are skyrocketing in value due to their unique subject matter and high-quality production. This is an awesome, LARGE pressed steel creation that is a stand-alone piece and has been numbered by Marv. You will never see another like it! The toy measures 25" in length, 9" wide and is 13" tall.
