Item Details
Description
French Dark Blue and Black Open Touring Tin Car of Marklin Quality. Operating hand brake, leather folding top, and rubber tire detailing is superb. Rear doors open and the detailing is excellent such as louvered engine hood and mesh grill and cowl venting. Steering works properly. The full sized auto was likely a De Dietrich, which was a small French automotive factory. Condition appears original with flaking as expected for a 110 old toy. Chain drive mechanism barely moves due to age, but properly winds. Size at an impressive 16" long. Similar toy featured in "The Golden Age of French Toys". The toy was also estimated at 1904 and listed at 14,750 pounds in 1988 London toy cataloging.
