Windup Toonerville Trolley
This is a neat toy based on a comic strip by Fontaine Fox. It’s a German tin Toonerville Trolley from about 1924, but says copyright 1922 on the side.
I like the action of this Toonerville Trolley. When you wind it up it runs across the floor. The wheels are mounted off center on the axles so the body tilts back and forth as it runs. About every four feet the trolley stops and the motorman gives a few jerks on the controller before it starts moving again.
You can see the motorman in the next picture.
Because these are so fragile very few have survived in collector condition, but they do appear on eBay every now and then. Find out what these Trolleys are selling for on eBay
