Description
**Important** Please read below description on how to avoid high shipping costs.
Explore this exceptional collection of vintage promotional materials from the renowned German toy manufacturer Schuco, primarily dating back to the early 1970s. This lot includes a variety of product catalogs, brochures, US distributor price lists, and order forms that highlight Schuco's prestigious legacy in the toy industry.
Schuco, founded in 1912 in Nuremberg by Heinrich Müller and Heinrich Schreyer, is celebrated for its craftsmanship and detail, especially in die-cast model vehicles and mechanical toys. The collection features pivotal documents from 'SCHUCO TOY COMPANY, INC.' of New York, providing a unique glimpse into the brand's presence in the American market.
Notably, this lot includes multiple copies of key catalogs: two 1970 'Nouveautés' catalogs with vibrant covers, depicting the iconic yellow Mercedes-Benz C111 and two 'Hauptkatalog' issues featuring the Gulf Porsche 917 cover. As a historical reference, these materials serve to enrich the collector's insight into models and original pricing from the period. Perfect for enthusiasts of vintage toys or anyone intrigued by mid-century design, this collection is a treasure not to be missed.
Don't pass up the chance to own a piece of Schuco history!
Checkout & Payment:
After the auction you can checkout two ways: Pay the invoice via Live Auctioneers/Proxibid or pay via the Lodestar Auctions website. Credit card fees apply both ways. 2.9% & $0.30 (4.4% & $0.30 international) through Lodestar Auctions and 4-5% through Live Auctioneers/Proxibid . Lodestar Auctions collects 7% sales tax for Illinois residents only. Live Auctioneers/Proxibid collects sales tax for most states. Check with them for sales rates for your state. Any unpaid items will be automatically charged by Live Auctioneers/Proxibid three days after end of auction. At checkout pay for the item only, shipping will be billed later. See below for shipping options to choose at checkout.
Shipping:
Pick up and buyer arranged shipping is always welcome. We offer in-house shipping for items that can ship through common carrier. All items will be professionally packed at a reasonable rate. If you paid for the item via Lodestar Auctions or Proxibid we will have your items packaged and send you a link to choose and pay for shipping on the Lodestar Auctions Website.
**Important** Live Auctioneers has their own shipping program. We find it to be very expensive and slow. This is the rate you see advertised when bidding. We do not recommend using them. If you do use them you must checkout via Live Auctioneers and choose LiveShip at checkout. If you pay via Live Auctioneers and want our In-house shipping you must choose self-arranged shipping at checkout. If you checkout via Lodestar Auctions this does not apply. I apologize if this is confusing, Live Auctioneers purposely arranged it this way to push their own overpriced shipping service. We are not happy about this and are trying to make it work.
Issues:
All items sold as is. We do our best to describe accurately and take plenty of non-touched up photos to best represent the item. Any lost or damaged item due to shipping must go through the carriers. Buyer pays any return shipping costs regardless of situation.
