RARE Antique Tin Toy Steam Engine Building House Zoo Keeper-Tiger-Animals Bear @
Truly a stunning toy with outstanding detail!!! Please note : This item is Antique/Vintage, Therefore it does have some flaws and imperfections. This early prewar tin toy has suffered some damage and flaws. The Zoo Keeper/House Keeper that is standing on the porch with a sticker of some sort in one hand, and another object in the other hand.
Unfortunately he has a crack near his waist which will need to be glued/repaired. The animals have some discoloration and need a good cleaning but appear to be intact and just have flaws/imperfections due to age.
The Roof of building will sit on top and display fine, I showed a picture of it with the roof on and off. Also a picture of the inside. I have no idea how this worked originally, You determine that with pictures provided. Examine photos for exact condition/specific details. When you spin the side crank/wheel: eventually the base that the animals sit on starts spinning and it makes it look like they are moving/walking inside the building.
I believe it had 4 animals originally, But i do not know. Possibly missing parts, Or needs restoration. Not fully working, Used for display. This toy is 100% original and stunning!!
A true piece of Americana! See pictures : #10, #11, #12 for Exact Measurements with a tape measure.
