  • A wonderful Marusan, Japan Sunbeam Motorcycle with Sidecar battery-operated toy in excellent, fully working condition. The Sunbeam operates with two 'D' cell batteries inserted into the sidecar. The sidecar switch operates the headlight, red license plate, taillight and the front running light. Upon battery insertion and without operating the light switch, power is instantly available to the electric motor to power the bike. The bike operates by switch movement on the gas tank. First gear is slow speed, second gear for higher speed and neutral or 'off'. The front fork is steerable and can be positioned for straight or circular motoring direction. These were very sensitive and fragile toys and most became shelf displays due to mishandling. This toy has been thoroughly checked and adjusted for superior function. Truly a delight and a must have for motorcycle collectors and enthusiasts alike!
  • This is a 1954 Tonka Jewel Tea Co. Truck and Trailer Pressed Steel toy. This marks the first year of production for this toy, as indicated by the straight cut metal at the base of the doors on the cab. The toy measures 24" long. The toy is essentially 100% original, with the exception of the repainted fuel tanks behind the cab. It has minor paint scratches and scrapes but is in overall very fine condition for a 74-year-old toy. This is a must have for any vintage Tonka or private label collector and has been a part of my personal collection for many years. The Jewel Tea Company operated a door-to-door delivery business from 1899 to 1981 delivering groceries and other household items from their catalog. Tonka partnered with companies like Jewel to create private label toys.
  • HUGE! Nomura Cessna 310L Friction Airplane with Reproduction Box. Beautiful, large airplane with spinning propellers. The Cessna 310 is also the same model as featured in the early 1960's TV show 'Sky King', a Saturday morning favorite program from my childhood. This toy is really beautiful and one of my personal favorites! There are two planes available and only one comes with a reproduction box. Please deduct $150 for the non-boxed aircraft.
  • Masudaya Space Capsule 6 1960s Japan Green Suit, Japan in the 1960s. It is a large space toy with multiple actions: whistling noise, revolving flashing light, bump and go action, and the astronaut moves back and forth in his chair. The toy measures 10" long and 5.5" high. Battery operated. Works perfectly. This toy has been in my personal toy collection for almost 20 years and is in wonderful condition. Variations of this toy offer the astronaut figure in a RED space suit, which is the most common version and this one here, which is the astronaut in a GREEN space suit and is considered the rarer version.
  • This is a beautiful, all original, Mechanical Bank J&E Stevens BALD EAGLE & Eaglets c. 1883. In wonderful operating condition with the original 'chirp' box. When the coin is inserted into the eagle's beak and the 'snake' lever is rotated, mother eagle tilts forward and drops the coin into the nest with the eaglets. A 'chirp' noise is emitted to complete the coin drop cycle. The finish on the bank is still vibrant and excellent. A very nice and rare color scheme is hand painted on the bank. As all of the J E Stevens banks are hand painted, no two are alike and greatly adds to their collectability.

  • Sonsco Red Gulch Bar, Western Badman Battery Operated Toy in mint condition. The Western Badman, Red Gulch Bar battery operated toy is a great, all-time favorite and prized collectible by vintage battery toy enthusiasts. The toy operates with two 'D' cell batteries inserted into the base. When the toy is activated, the desperado lifts his beer mug, gets 'red faced', turns his head and lifts his gun to take a shot at the bartender. The bartender swings to the side to avoid the shot while smoke exits the gun barrel. This is a continuous action toy in excellent working condition. Please watch our YouTube video of this marvelous toy in action! The Red Gulch Bar, aka: Western Badman is from the 1950's and comes with three mint whiskey bottles for atop the bar.

  • Thimble-Drome Curtiss Pusher by L.M. Cox. The 1911 vintage style, engine powered airplane is a ready to assemble flying model. Complete with a T-D babe bee engine. The Thimble-Drome Curtiss flying model was only produced for one year, (1960/61) due to its delicate nature and inability to survive smooth landings. The model kits came with a parts re-ordering form that I assume was used extensively by model flyers! One of my favorite all-time kits that is extremely well made and has excellent detail. The pilot figure comes with lead weights that fit inside his legs and acts as the counterbalance to the power of the gas, .029 engine. This kit is becoming exceedingly rare to find in any condition, but this kit offered is 100%original, including the decal sheet. I offer replacement waterslide decals for this model elsewhere on our site.
