HWN Tin Lithographed Missile Launch German Toy *SOLD*
German Tin Missile Launch Toy by HWN
One can say this is a ghastly toy in the age of the Cold War. That, or one can say this is a perfect toy to commemorate the age of ballistic missile threats and a pending third World War.
Our German toy is actually a mystery, as it appears it is close to complete or complete. Yet it appears a rubber band is needed, and we can’t decide if there is another item. To us, this doesn’t matter, as it is a static model of launch sequences and a West German take on Cold War missile batteries.
The flywheel spins with a crank well, but appears to just be a sound maker. Then a kid can press the launch toggle and a lever may release a rubber band attached to the missile. We can’t figure it out.
Our toy is nearly new with a worn, but good box. The charm in this toy is the rare lithograph of pre-war training. Oh, and it is incredibly rare; first one we have seen.
