Item Description
2.5x5x6.75" tall tin litho toy with built-in key. Marked "Made In Germany" and ©1922 by Fontaine Fox. Nicely designed toy includes die-cut tin figure of The Skipper. Toy works well and when wound travels forward in a rocking motion. Trolley then stops and shakes slightly as the Skipper turns the controller before it continues on its way. Entire toy has moderate darkening of the paint. Toy has a few scratches and paint rubs plus small traces of oxidation on one side around windows. Still a nice example for display of this classic early comic character wind-up. Fine.
