ARCADE CHECKER CAB.

ARCADE CHECKER CAB. An outstanding all original example, this lifelike replica of the real Checker cab from the mid-late 1930s was presented in toy form by Arcade. Although not inscribed “Checker” on windshield visor, this is a rare version with an elaborate nickel plated grille with headlights and rubber tired wheels including the spare affixed to the rear of cab. Seldom does one have the chance to purchase such a rare and elusive toy, but almost never the opportunity to purchase both versions (see previous lot). This example is completely painted in a butterscotch color with only the roof enameled in black and black highlighting to lower passenger frame windows. SIZE: 9″ l. PROVENANCE: From the collection of the late Larry Seiber of San Jose, CA. CONDITION: Very fine plus, hairline crack to right rear bumper support. 1-9089 (12,000-15,000)

Auction: Advertising, Toy & Doll - Spring 2009

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.
