WINDUP CHARIOT ALLEMAND EN ÉTAIN collection VERS 1910, ÉVENTUELLEMENT FABRIQUÉ PAR RICHTER Co.

In this listing we are offering an interesting & visually pleasing German litho tin toy windup trolley. We are estimating that the trolley was made circa 1910 or so. The trolley does not have any makers marking. But, the toy was likely made by the Richter Co. in Germany which was owned by Frederich Adolf Richter. The toy measures 6 1/4 inches long by 4 2/8 inches tall by 2 11/16 inches wide. The weight is 3.7 ounces.

The litho tin details are very finely done & are mostly very bright. The toy shows areas of wear to some parts of the finely detailed litho & there is some minor oxidation to some metal parts here & there. The toy is missing the front two tin wheels & axel as well as the tiny piece that goes on the end of the key wind shaft & the metal wire that would stick out of the roof. The tin has a few bends. The winding mechanism has not been tested. But, the spring is present & is uniformly wound on the interior key wind shaft.

A recent fresh find from a Lancaster County. Pa. estate.
