VERY UNUSUAL TWO HORSE “CITY CAR” TROLLEY BY ALTHOF BERGMANN.

VERY UNUSUAL TWO HORSE “CITY CAR” TROLLEY BY ALTHOF BERGMANN. An oddity for an American tin toy, this is not the typical trolley that one usually encounters either in form or color. The horse is similar in nature to George Brown horses, yet with subtle and distinct differences when compared side by side. Horses attached to each other by a common wheeled base and wires as simulated yokes are enameled in white black trappings and red belly bands. The car itself, unusual in that it has stenciled entrance and exit as opposed to stamped openings, scalloped embossed ventilators, and side entrance and exit steps with railings. The trolley is painted in dark blue with gold and black stenciling and red base and roof. SIZE: 15″ l. PROVENANCE: From the Collection of Malcolm Deisenroth, Jr. CONDITION: Overall very good to fine with no apparent restoration, lacking a couple of minor wire handrails. 1-10017 (4,500-6,500)

Auction: Advertising, Toy & Doll - Spring 2010

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.
