4 ARCADE AUTOS AND AC WILLIAMS TRUCK.

The following five toys came from an elderly gentleman who has had them for decades and for the most part, they are in virtually unplayed with condition. Three of the four Arcade cars have original decals and all four have the typical signature Arcade rubber tires. These four cars would be ideal on the Arcade car carrier if you have one without the vehicles. Overall they are very fine+ with slightly more chipping to the red and blue roadsters. The take-apart Williams truck is most unusual, not only in the fact that they employed three different colors, but the vehicle itself is seldom found. Rubber tires are intact and have some alligatoring, but original. This truck is in remarkable original paint condition. SIZE: Varies from 5″ to 5-3/4″ l. CONDITION: As stated above. 49014-2 (750-1,250) – Lot 2062

LARGE BLACK CLOCKWORK STORE AUTOMATON.
