Hercules Ferris Wheel with Box Chein

This is one of the nicest I've seen in a while, works, little or no wear, does show some age though. The box also shows age, has a hole from the key and shelf wear, no buildups. If it wasn't for the fact I got mine as a gift from my wife, I'd keep this one and sell the other. 172 Hercules Mechanical Ferris Wheel manufactured by Chein & Co.

100% lithographed tin with spring driven motor. This particular example is one of the finest examples I've found. It looks like it was used a few times and then stored.

It comes complete with it's original illustrated box. The toy is characterized by its brilliant red and yellow design.

It has six spokes and gondolas and features the famous smiling clown hub. The opposite side hub includes a spinning, ringing pinwheel. It was produced in four versions from the early 1930's through the early 1960's. The freaks were replaced with animals in later versions. The simple printed black cardboard box shows a portrait illustration of the toy which is repeated on both panels.

The winking eyed clown shown on the box depicts the 1920's Nifty version of the toy. If you can't find it, try Else?
