  • This is a Bandai 1959 Cadillac tin friction car in excellent original condition.  The toy has very minor scuffing (possibly box rub) and is virtually un-played with. The tire treads are crisp and the friction is very strong. This toy has been in my personal collection for several years. This would be a beautiful addition to any tin toy car collectors fleet.

  • Buddy L Mechanical Scarab Windup Automobile. A pressed steel toy measuring about 10" long with a wind-up motor on the rear wheels.. Be sure to check out the video. This is a very unique and imaginative toy produced by Buddy L in the mid 1930's. The toy is in very good to excellent operating condition, with original paint and Scarab decals on the doors. The toy shows moderate playwear, with numerous scratches overall but the plated trim is clean. This is an extremely well made and unusual subject, collectible toy. To operate the toy, swing the stop lever to secure the rear wheels from rotating and wind the mechanism. Place the toy on the floor, release the stop lever and watch the Scarab move in a forward direction. As the mechanism continues its cycle, a small wheel drops at the rear of the mechanism causing the Scarab to turn in another direction.
  • Child Guidance Mechanical Helicopter No. 8200. A child's introduction to mechanics. The gears turn, the motor spins and it makes a realistic sound.  Wind it up and watch it run! The helicopter can be disassembled and is color-coded for easy reassembly. The Child Guidance series of Mechanical Toys are tremendous teaching tools. Children learn the science behind how things work, by watching the operation of gears working together to create action and movement. You'll find the rarest examples of these toys right here!
  • This extremely rare CIJ Alfa Romeo P2 racer was manufactured between the years 1925 and 1935. This comes from the private collection of a dear friend who has been collecting toy cars for over 50 years. Though the toy shows age, the patina is tremendous and is 100% all original. The wind-up mechanism is still functional and strong, the steering operates by the steering wheel and also works. I will include one of Uncle Al's custom-made wind-up keys with the purchase. Please don't confuse this toy with the re-issue Alfa P2. Quality wise, there is no comparison. Many of the details that made the original toy so authentic to the real Alfa P2 racer are missing from the re-issue. Pay particular attention to the wheels, grills and decals and you'll see what I mean. Due to the nature of this item, interested buyers need to contact me for purchase. Payment may be made by cash, good personal check, money order / cashier's check or bank wire transfer ONLY. Arrangements can be made for personal pick up or professional packaging and shipping. The price for this toy is $15000.00 or you are welcome to negotiate an offer.
  • Comet Monorail Battery Operated Toy, TN Nomura Japan is in excellent working condition. This toy comes complete with metal track and the original box. The Monorail car operates on 'D' cell batteries. It features forward and reverse action and has red and green lights which correspond with the movement. The track layout is approximately 20" by 30". The Monorail car is suspended by the metal uprights and wire track that snap together to form the layout. The litho is bright and crisp and shows very light playwear overall. This toy was produced in the 1950's in Japan due in part to the popularity of the Disneyland Theme Park Monorail in California. It can be played with or used as an attractive display piece.

  • Ford Gas-Turbine Van Friction Motor by M.K.K. Powered by a friction motor. Quality construction, heavy gauge metal. A nicely constructed reproduction box. Known as the Ford Gas Turbine, Experimental Superhighway Truck, this vehicle was designed to be the cutting edge of hauling transportation efficiency in 1964. It featured 600 H.P. and a cruising range of 600 miles. Our featured toy is in lightly played with condition, strong friction motor and opening rear trailer door. It's missing one light from the roof of the trailer (at the moment. I'll see if I can find it or make a new replacement.) This is an extremely collectible toy and had to come by in such nice shape.
  • Unassembled 1/20 scale vintage METAL model kit. These kits are a true delight to build. The modeler should possess intermediate model building skills and will need tools such as miniature drill bits and jewelers files, as well as a small flat blade screwdriver for assembly. Paints and adhesives are also necessary.

  • Hot Wheels 1932 Ford Diecast Model Car, Deuces Wild, High Boy Street Rod, designed by Greg Padington and produced by Mattel in 2000. Brand new in the box with minimal shelf wear.
  • Hot Wheels Legends to Life Don “the Snake” Prudhomme Electronic Funny Car. Scale 1:24. Mint in the box. Matching serial number and paperwork. This phenomenal model is truly a work of art and coupled with the finest electronics at the time of manufacturing, it is unparalleled in quality. Some of the many features of this model are a synchronized cassette tape that coincides with the functions of the car; the lifting of the funny car body, firing sound of the engine, which features flashing header pipes and spinning blower belt on the engine front. Spinning tires, wheelie action, count down lights on the starting line tree, just so many features and actions all working at the same time, and the ability to repeat these actions for continued demonstration. The base unit requires 4 'D' cell batteries for operation. I highly recommend only using fresh, brand-new batteries each time this is operated and NEVER leave the batteries in the base. It is NOT recommended for unsupervised children. The display also offers the ability to run the second feature in manual mode and plays the 'B' side of the tape, which is a conversation/interview with the 'Snake' himself. All in all, there is nothing but action packed into this tremendous offering from Mattel. The serialized model matches the packaging and included documentation and is extremely important to maintaining the overall rarity and value of the item. You can be sure that there are very few of these available in this condition and most are in private collections. No disappointments here!
