Chein & co. 1952 Ride-A-Rocket tin toy 100% AUTHENTIC

100% Authentic Extraordinary tin litho spring driven amusement park toy manufactured by Chein & Co. 260 Rocket Ride" the design concepts is similar to Chein's "No. 260 Ride-A-Rocket" toy (1952), but at half the size it's structurally closer to their "No. 265 Musical Mechanical Space Ride (1958). In fact, the Space Ride toy and this toy use identical roc however the base, tower, and column lithography is unique.

I know of no other Chein toy that has this lithography. It may have been produced between 1952 and 1958, or possibly it was a precursor to the larger Ride-A-Rocket since they were both assigned the same No. Regardless of when it was made, I couldn't find a single reference for it and that includes Alan Jaffe's book on J. Prior to finding this example I never knew it even existed.

Most important however, is the phenomenal condition of this toy. It looks fantastic and works beautifull. This is a rare collectible.
