Presented for your consideration is this early antique friction toy car. The car is a roadster coupe car with a tin body and metal friction mechanics on the underside. The body of the car is painted a dark orange-yellow color with a black roof. There are molded details on the body to resemble a full size car.
The front of the car sports a grille and headlights. Over each wheel is a hub. Each wheel has a dark gold colored rim with a silver painted tire.
The underside houses the friction mechanics and at the time of listing the car is in proper WORKING condition. The car will easily roll backwards or forwards depending upon the direction it is wound up. Most likely was made by the Dayton Toy Company as they made a very similar friction car to this one. Paint is all original and the car appears to be complete.
Dates to the 1920s and guaranteed to be antique. This early friction toy car would make a great addition to any antique or vintage toy collection! Some light oxidation is on the trunk, wheel hubs and outer wheel of the friction mechanics. Some light to mild paint wear. Three small dings are in the top of the roof and some light bending is on the mirror frames and headlights. Typical light age and play wear. Overall in VERY GOOD condition for its age.
