Vintage Original Kingsbury Golden Arrow Windup Toy Racer Circa 1928

The first model from 1927 was a golden bronze color with circular wheels. The next year, Kingsbury made the racer in white, lime green, blue green, and red.

The wheels on the 1928 model were of a spoke design instead of the circular design of the previous year. See Freed's Transportation Toys. This example is missing the front rubber bumper strip as shown in the photos.

The windup mechanism is in working order and the front wheels turn as designed and the total length of the car without the bumper is right at 19 1/2 inches. I can see some places, particularly on the underside of the car, where some paint flakes have been touched up but nothing severe. The driver is still in place as is the old windshield. The counterclockwise windup is smooth. There are paint losses and scrapes as shown in the photos but no real dents or gashes anywhere. It is in pretty nice condition for being ninety years old and played with. The item "VINTAGE ORIGINAL KINGSBURY GOLDEN ARROW WINDUP TOY RACER CIRCA 1928" is in sale since Thursday, March 7, 2019.
