Nonpareil Tin Lithographed Hansom Cab for Sale *SOLD*

Nonpareil Tin Lithographed Hansom Cab

We have a great tin cab circa 1915 for sale.  It was manufactured by the American toy company Nonpareil (without equal in French) of Bloomfield, New Jersey, which proceeded Marx and is part of the budget toy movement.   Nonpareil often omitted extra parts and windups in favor of keeping prices low.

This toy has good lithography in an unusual green and cream color combination.  The horse is the typical Nonpareil white and black with spots.

A brief history of the Nonpareil Toy & Novelty Co. Newark, New Jersey:
