Item Description CLICK HERE TO MAKE PAYMENT WHEN THE AUCTION ENDS!!!PRESENTS FEATURED SELLERItem Location: Northbrook, IL 60062United StatesCassa Ferris Wheel Vintage Wind-Up Tin Litho Toy-GermanDescriptionThis is a vintage wind-up Ferris wheel toy, made of tin metal and colorfully lithoed. The maker is not known, but it was made in West Germany. The key wind mechanism winds up fine, and a spinning arm makes the bell ring. The gears work, but the axle piece seems to be a little loose. The wheel has turned when we've wound it up all the way, and then it slows down and stops, while the bell still rings. The mechanism might require some tinkering. The detailed litho images include clown on front, a ticket taker in a window with sign marked CASSA (possibly the maker?), and 6 riders, of 3 different kinds. The colors include red, yellow, blue, green, black and white. Light surface spotting and rusting covers most of the piece, as is shown in the photos. This is fairly normal for a toy of this age, which we believe to be 50 years old or more. We have not attemped to clean this up. The base measures 4 1/2" square, and the total height up to the bar across the top is 9 1/2". This wonderful Ferris wheel toy captures the fun of the early amusement parks.Due to the price or shipping dimensions of this item a shipping quote is required.
