• Lot Description:
  VINTAGE 1930s LOUIS MARX & CO “PINCHED” WIND-UP TIN LITHO TABLE-TOP TOY
  The toy originally sold for 98¢ and was available for only several months through the Sears Winter catalogue. Its low production numbers were most likely due to the complexity of the toy. It’s not your “basic” circular toy. The vehicle speeds through four obstacles including a brick tunnel, a police station, and two pedestrian crossovers with a male and female figure on each. A drug store/news stand building stands in the centre. There are two policeman, one on a spring activated motorcycle and the other is stationary with a rotating stop/go sign. The motorcycle cop is pulled back to its starting position which releases the vehicle. As it passes the traffic cop the stop/go sign turns slightly. Dimensions: 25 x 25cm (10 x 10”).
