LOT OF 2 WILKINS FIRE TOYS.

The first toy is a 3-horse ladder wagon with integrally cast seated figures and the typical tin and iron back end. A latter Wilkins toy utilized an unusual method of attaching horses to the front end. Literally the mane of the horse has a hook at the rear and they virtually float on the yoke assembly so they give the impression of galloping. The second toy is an early style automotive hook & ladder wagon with an integrally cast seated fireman on the front end. A clockwork mechanism under the rear axle would allow the toy to propel forward. When the toy hit the wall or other obstacle, the ladders would spring up into action. I am sure Mom & Dad loved this toy when it would hit them in the leg. This method was a patented feature for the late Wilkins/early Kingsbury toys. SIZE: 20″ l and 18″ l, respectively. CONDITION: First toy show years of dust and soil that would be enhanced by a thorough cleaning. Missing fire buckets. Overall good to very good. Second toy is very fine original paint. Lacking one rubber covering to rear iron wheel. 1-14220 (400-600) – Lot 3346

Auction: Advertising, Toy & Doll - Spring 2014

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
