"HOTELS" AND "DEPOTS" CLOCKWORK OMNIBUS

Probably Hull & StaffordConnecticut – Circa 1855. American tin clockwork toys do not get any finer than this one. It is an early toy, circa 1855, and was probably made by Hull & Stafford. The toy is marked "Hotels" and "Depots". The color of this toy is truly magnificent. The door at the rear of the omnibus opens. The toy is a very impressive 22" long, and works well. A fantastic addition for even the most sophisticated tin toy collector. Material: Tin (Cast Iron Wheels)

Overall Very Fine (Red colors with some restoration, the original figure restored)
