Item Details

Description

These toys were especially created to promote such dirigible races. Toy DOES NOT WORK. The spring isn't broken, everything is there, the wind up catch is out of adjustment. This toy is primarily constructed of pressed steel does have it's original patina. The balancing ball is lead and weighs approximatley 1/2 lb. No maker marks found.
