Rare Wells Police Van 1930 Vintage Tinplate Clockwork Tin Charming Car Toy Truck

I have a number of old tin vehicles to sell, including emergency vehicles from police, fire brigade etc... Please take a look at my other listings... MADE IN ENGLAND, BY WELLS. DISPLAYS THEIR EARLY TRADE MARK "WELLS O LONDON". JUST OVER 9 INCH LENGTH....

THIS IS THE LARGER, EXTENDED WHEELBASE VERSION. ALSO COMES WITH FUNCTIONAL REAR DOUBLE DOORS. GREAT ORIGINAL PIECE, APPEARS COMPLETE.... EVEN HAS THE FRAGILE FRONT HEAD LIGHTS AND SIMPLE LATCH ON REAR DOOR. TINPLATE CONSTRUCTION, WITH ATTRACTIVE LITHO PRINTED DETAILING...

UNIFORMED POLICE OFFICER AT WHEEL, WITH LARGE PERIOD MOUSTACHE. FULL LENGTH RUNNING BOARDS/REAR WHEEL ARCHES. DISPLAYING 80-90 YEARS OF NATURAL AGE/PLAY WEAR, WITH AN EVEN COVER OF SURFACE OXIDATION, TINPLATE "SPIDER LINES", SCUFFS, MARKING, TARNISHING ETC...

UNDERSIDE IS NICE, JUST LIGHT SURFACE MARKING. SOLID OLD VEHICLE, NOT ROTTEN. I think the old van looks great as is, but you could always give it a careful oil based cleaning. CLOCKWORK/WIND UP MECHANISM STILL WITH ORIGINAL FIXED KEY WINDER... WITH CARE, IT WILL STILL WIND UP AND SPIN REAR WHEELS ALOFT... Would certainly benefit from some oil to smooth up movement.

I've added all the images i can, taken in differing light to hopefully show the honest/accurate condition... The item "RARE WELLS POLICE VAN 1930 VINTAGE TINPLATE CLOCKWORK TIN CHARMING CAR TOY TRUCK" is in sale since Thursday, March 29, 2018.
