Chein Windup Tin Roller Coaster

Chein roller coaster
This is a neat tin toy. Made by J. Chein in the 1950s. Many different versions were made. The difference is in the lithography.

This example is a carnival roller coaster. Chein item number 2752. Catalog number 2-P3269. These were also made with Disneyland graphics, and clown graphics. The Disney example is more desirable and more expensive. The clown graphics - mostly yellow are worth about the same as this one.

The toy car is pulled up the incline and then rolls back down to the bottom. At the bottom it’s pulled back up. Two cars come with the set.

This one is missing the cloth strap with attached hook that pulls the car up. Replacement cars and straps are available from parts suppliers and on eBay.
