Antique German Carette Wind Up Tin Toy Car - All 4 Orig Passengers & Headlights:
$3750.00

This is an Early 1900s German Tin Car by Georges Carette. This car is an excellent example of Carette\'s work and is featured on the cover of the book \"The Great Toys of Georges Carette\".It is in fairly good condition for it\'s age and has all four original passengers and original headlamps. The lithography on the body is in fairly good shape, but the passengers have more wear. The driver is missing the tabs on his bottom, that would hold him in the seat. He is also coming apart, and has a bit of solder on his bottom. There are various dings and rusty spots. There are two wires on one sideof the car. It doesn\'t look like they are holding anything together, but I didn\'t want to remove them. The tires are missing, as well as the canopy, otherwise everything seems to be there. There is no key with this piece, so I couldn\'t tell if the spring is working for the wind up mechanism. There are no photos of the underside, but it is in good condition, with just a few minor rusty spots.
Again, please examine the photos carefully, and ask any questions before offerding.Please rest assured that I always pack items very carefully.
Approximately 12\"long x 5\" wide x 7 1/2\" high
