Choo Choo R.R. Pressed Steel Train Toy *SOLD*

Choo Choo R.R. Pressed Steel Train Toy For Sale

This barn find Choo Choo train toy is a hot mess of safety issues.  It is heavy, has sharp edges and really is a bad kids toy.  -But it was a toy around the early 1900’s. It was stamped out of steel in America, likely around the Ohio region, and then slapped with a fast coat of paint, assembled with a spring and washing board style noise maker, then sold to kids.  It reminds us of a Dayton or Schieble toy.

This example came from an Indiana barn and comes with a loose front nose cap and loose noise maker.  It is intact, but so crude we weren’t sure how it would operate.  The spring works and we did a quick test, but the parts absolutely fly into motion.  -Very dangerous!  We sell it as not working, because all the fittings need to be realigned and checked to properly work, possibly adding  a rivet or spot weld back.

Condition is original wood and steel with original paint.  It has bumps and scratches,  but is an authentic 100 year old toy.
