Description
Made by Georges Carette Company. Germany - Early 1900's - 10 7/8" Long. This is a very early and important steam-powered toy car. Amazingly, the steam engine component still retains the original kerosene burner. The car is outfitted with fancy spoked wheels and rubber tires, a steering tiller, and a pair of headlamps. An elegant top-hatted chauffeur drives a fashionable lady through the shopping streets to do her errands.
Condition
Excellent Condition with Restoration. The car's interior red paint is thoroughly original, but the ivory exterior may be a very old restoration. Nevertheless, this is still an absolute stunner and an exceedingly rare toy car.
