MARX CHARLIE MCCARTHY MORTIMER SNERD WIND UP CAR.

A wonderful classic comic toy from the 1930s featuring Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd. When the car is wound and activated it races forward with both bobble styled heads bobbing about until the front bumper hits a wall and then its direction is reversed, backing up until it hits another wall and then proceeds forward. The vehicle itself, shall we say is an artist interpretation of a stream lined yellow cab with an extended front engine compartment and gayly lithographed in a variety of colors, stripes, squiggles, etc. The imagination of those who designed the toys during this period was fabulous. Marx gave collectors in future generations wonderful and whimsical toys. Wind up mechanism tested and appears to be in working order. SIZE: 16″ long. CONDITION: Overall condition is very good with litho being bright and shiny. The typical scratched, wear to hood wells most noticeable on left front hood well. 1-14216 (1,000-1,500) – Lot 3415

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.
