Description: Marx Charlie McCarthy Private Car Coupe Tin Wind Up Toy with Box. “Another great toy from PA Toys of Times Past” 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 wildly 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 areas are around the necks of the two figures. As they move quite vigorously as this toy moves. Other small scratches here and there but nothing that takes away for the great appearance of this fantastic toy, has a replacement key and includes the top quality reproduction box as shown. Any questions just ask. Thanks DESCRIPTIONS: I am a firm believer that pictures speak a thousand words. I try to include a variety of brightly lit, clearly focused pictures from multiple angles in my listings. The pictures are a key part of the description. As a supplement to the pictures I also provide a reasonably detailed written description that discloses what I see, what I know and what I think. Between the pictures description and written description, buyers should have a fair opportunity to understand what they are bidding on. If there is something that you do not understand or if you need additional information or pictures please ask in advance of bidding rather than assume anything. We ship with extreme care! Please see my feedback to see what people say about my packaging. Of course there is free local pick up and we can meet to assist if you are near Pennsylvania or driving through. We require signature confirmation on most items above $100, unless you request otherwise. Also, we have discounts with FedEx & eBay on shipping which do not always show up in eBay estimates on shipping. We try to refund what we can when there is a notable difference, but we do not know until we actually process the shipping order. Please follow our store if you love rare antiques, primitives and collectibles of many types. We scour the land for the rarest and neatest of items for our buyers who love them.

FEEDBACK POLICY: I have my automated system setup to leave positive feedback for a buyer after payment has been received and after I have received positive feedback from the buyer. I have it set up this way as I have no way of knowing if a transaction is complete until I receive positive feedback from you. If for ANY reason at all you feel that I deserve ANYTHING but positive feedback, please contact me PRIOR to leaving the feedback. I will do everything in my power to make sure the transaction is completed in a satisfactory way for you. Please do not leave something other than positive feedback and then contact me with the issue. With ebay's new feedback rules, neutral ratings come off a seller's feedback score in the same manner that negative feedbacks do. So, again, I ask for you to contact me with any issues prior to leaving feedback so I can make the transaction a positive experience for you. Thanks
