RARE LEHMANN ZIG-ZAG ZICK-ZACK CAR WINDUP GERMAN TIN TOY
WILL SHIP INTERNATIONALLY
This sale is for a vintage 1900’s tin lithographedclockwork/windup powered “Zig-Zag” car made in Germany by Lehmann. This tin toy features two men (white andblack) working together to operate a two-wheeled vehicle. This vehicle moves in a very erratic fashion,always changing directions. In anattempt to steer the vehicle the two seated figures alternately move thesteering wheel and lever while bouncing up and down in their seats! Both men are wearing wonderful hats, originalarms, detailed faces, and some paint loss – please view photos fordetailing. This toy also comes with the original tin Lehmann tag with a partial string that held the box closed prior to purchase, seen in first photo.
This tin toy was made from 1910 – 1945. The patent for the drive mechanism claimsthat the toy will never repeat the same course twice! The figures are hand painted and all tinconstruction.
This tin toy was tested on 11/17/2015 – the toy has a fixedoriginal key on the bottom of the cart – this toy WORKS with see-saw action between the two figures and does not travel consistently without touching, awesome tin toy!
