Item Description
3.5x8x5” tall tin litho toy with built-in key. Marx. ©1930 Correll & Gosden. Toy is complete and all original including horseshoe hood ornament, crank, windshield plus separate tin litho figures of Amos, Andy and their dog. Car’s body has related text including “Fresh Air Taxi Cab Co. Of America, Inc.” name plus “Check And Double Check,” etc. Car has simulated wear and tear such as dents and dings, patched tires as well as mud splashed on fenders and running boards. Toy works and car travels forward before coming to a stop. It then shakes as the figures of Amos and Andy bounce up and down, the toy then resumes its forward motion. Car shows wear with hairline scratches/nicks, most wear consisting of traces of bare metal showing at edges. Wheels show heavy wear to rims. Fine. Classic wind-up toy.
