CLOCKWORK HUBLEY AMUSEMENT PARK RIDE. A most rare, desirable, enchanting toy! One of three known to exist this finely detailed and cast clockwork toy is from the late 19th century. A combination of cast iron and brass, Hubley portrayed a real life ride in toy form. When the chain driven mechanism is activated, the large wheels revolve and the gondolas slide to and fro as they rotate between the two large and elaborate discs. SIZE: 19″ l x 11″ h x 6″ w. CONDITION: Overall condition is near excellent but due to the frailty of the toy and castings some repairs have been made to the large fanciful cast iron end caps. Clockwork spring shows sign of old repair (as seen in photo). 1-6192 JL (25,000-45,000) Auction: Advertising, Toy & Doll - Spring 2006 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.
