Kenton Large Cast Iron Open Air Touring Car *SOLD*
x-SOLD- Early Kenton Open Air Touring Car circa 1923
Year: Circa 1923. Very Limited
Material: Cast Iron
Size: 12″ long approximately
Country of Origin: USA
Description: 1923 Dodge style open air touring car with an incredible size. Black paint appears to be touched up; yet the factory may have had problems due to no primer. Aging is uniform and vintage. Black lighting does not show current paint, and it may have been produced this crudely ages ago. Uniform light chipping and mis-matched and cracked rear left wheel. Driver is missing a leg and was crudely painted red. This is an incredibly large cast iron car in a very early form; a survivor and sought after.
Kenton shows this toy in its 1923 catalog, yet it quickly disappears. Note too that this isn’t well documented and is actually 12″, not 9″ in size. Production must have been limited, as survivors don’t show up.
Company: Kenton
Condition: Good to poor as shown
