c.1895 SG Gunthermann Vis-A-Vis Tinplate Open Air Wind-up Auto w/Driver AS-IS!
Here's a great old c. 1895 tinplate wind-up auto by S.G. Gunthermann. It is in need of restoration. Selling as-found as-is. Please look at photos as I am not an expert and may miss something that is missing on this piece. From what I can tell besides the fact that it has a lot of paint wear and it does not work, is that the rubber tires are missing, the head lamps are missing, the back tire bumpers are missing, and one wheel will not stay on. I guess maybe a piece is missing on the rod? Also, when I pick up this piece I hear lots of noise from inside the wind-up housing. Sounds like it is full of small pebbles. Oh, and the knob or key is missing from the winding knob. This item measures 6 3/8" long x 6 1/4" tall and 3 1/4" wide approx. No Buy-it-now. sale only. Good for parts or restoration.
