BOXED SET AND MORE:
DISNEY 1934 "LIONEL MICKEY MOUSE HAND CAR" WIND-UP TOY WITH "
ORIGINAL
" WIND-UP KEY,
SCARCE
2
PIECE BOX, 8 SECTION 2 RAIL TRACK(ADDITIONAL TRACK OPTIONS ARE ALWAYS AVAILABLE ON EBAY ARE ARE RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE-THE 2 RAIL VERSION IS SCARCER AND COMES WITH A HIGHER PRICE TAG THAN THE 3 RAIL OPTION).
THESE ORIGINAL HANDCAR SETS CAME WITH THE 2 RAIL TRACK VERSION. VINTAGE "O SCALE" 3 RAIL TRACK WILL ALSO WORK WITH THIS HANDCAR.
THE APPROXIMATE OVERALL DIMENSIONS OF THE HAND CAR INCLUDING MICKEY AND MINNIE IS 2" X 8 1/2" X 6" TALL.
THIS TOY HAS ONE OF THE MORE INTERESTING MECHANICAL ACTIONS THAN OTHER SIMILAR TOYS OF THAT ERA. WHEN THE WIND-UP HAND CAR CIRCLES THE TRACK, MICKEY AND MINNIE MOUSE FIGURES PUMP UP AND DOWN THE CENTER HAND BAR FURIOUSLY.
IT IS QUITE ENTERTAINING JUST WATCHING THIS TOY WORK, FOR THE FIGURES DO, INDEED, SEEM TO BE PROPELLING THEMSELVES MADLY AROUND THE TRACK!
MICKEY AND MINNIE MOUSE ARE MADE UP OF HAND PAINTED COMPOSITION MATERIAL EXCEPT FOR THEIR RUBBER LEGS, RUBBER-COATED WIRE TAILS AND MINNIE'S WOOD HAT.
THE MICKEY AND MINNIE FIGURINES STAND APPROXIMATELY 4 1/2" TALL AND ARE IN
EXCELLENT OR BETTER CONDITION
.
THE OVERALL QUALITY OF THE HANDCAR IS EXCELLENT.
THE GREEN HOUSING DOES HAVE AREAS OF RUB WEAR AND SPOTTY PAINT LOSS.
THE ORANGE LITHOGRAPHED
TIN PLACARD
ON ONE SIDE OF THE HAND CAR IS IN VERY GOOD PLUS CONDITION(THE PLACARD IS
FREE
OF ANY
CRAZING
WHICH IS
SCARCE
ON IT'S OWN MERITS).
THE PLACARD DOES HAVE SOME SURFACE SCRATCHING AND THE REASON THAT I CAN'T GRADE THE SAME AS EXCELLENT.
THE PRINT ON THE PLACARD CONSISTS OF:
MICKEY MOUSE
(C) WALT DISNEY
HAND CAR
NO. 1100
THE LIONEL CORP. NEW YORK
MADE IN U. S. OF AMERICA
THE HAND CAR'S MOTOR-WORKS AND BELL-RINGING FUNCTION ARE IN STRONG WORKING CONDITION.
THE UNDERCARRIAGE STILL HAS
ALL 4 CONNECTING TABS
USED TO HOLD THE MOTOR-WORKS TO THE HOUSING(MANY ARE MISSING AND NOT DISCLOSED).
THE MOUNTING HARDWARE FOR MICKEY AND MINNIE TO THE HANDCAR PLATFORM ARE SOLID.
DISNEY'S COLLABORATION WITH LIONEL TO PRODUCE THIS AND SIMILAR DISNEY LIONEL TOYS DURING THE DEPRESSION YEARS LITERALLY SAVED LIONEL FROM BANKRUPTCY.
MR. DISNEY HAD A GREAT ADMIRATION FOR LIONEL AND DID NOT WANT TO SEE THEM MEET THERE DEMISE.
THE ORIGINAL 2 PIECE BOX SET IS IN OVERALL,
VERY SCARCE
, EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH MINIMAL
COSMETIC AND/OR CONSTRUCTION DISTRACTIONS(THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SMALL REPAIR AREAS)
.
THE BOX MEASURES APPROXIMATELY
8 1/4" X 11 1/4" X 2 1/2".
PLEASE VIEW MY MANY ENCLOSED PHOTOS FOR THE BEST TOOL TO USE IN DETERMINING THE QUALITY OF THE PIECES THAT MAKE UP THIS GREAT SET FOR YOURSELF.
