Schuco Micro Racer Studio 1050
Schuco toys are wonderful. I’ve got quite a few of them. This is a windup Studio 1050 Micro Racer. Made in US Zone Germany, dates to late 1940s early 1950s.
The wheels come off, and Schuco used a really complicated rear axle. It has settings so you can make it do different things, but I’ve never wound it up so I can’t say what it does. It’s really well made toy.
I think the Micro part of the name describes the size. I have Schuco Varianto cars that are a bit larger, and a much larger firetruck.
I know some of the old Schuco toys have been reproduced by Lilliput, and some have been reproduced by Schuco as collectibles. There is a big difference in value between a reproduction and an original.
