THIS IS A SUPER RARE TOY IN ESPECIALLY RARE ALL ORIGINAL CONDITION. MADE BY THE SAME MAKERS AS HILL CLIMBERS AND IDENTICAL IN CONSTRUCTION AND WOOD AND TIN MATERIALS, BUT IS A PUSH TOY AS THERE IS NO CAST IRON FLYWHEEL UNDERNEATH. Probably made by DP CLARK SCHIEBEL or a similar toy maker of that time. Measures approx 15 long. All original and ret ains the orig cast iron figure and missing a steering wheel i think? The paint is in ORIGINAL condition, yes some chips and wear and 2 nails missing from the roof so its a bit loose, but overall this super rare toy displays very well with its remaining light blue, white and gold paint,, it retains the original decal in front. Has really cool gold pin striping. WHEN PUSHED ALONG, THE ANIMALS AND BALL ARE ARTICULATED AND SWING BACK AND FORTH INSIDE THE CAGE! ONE ANIMAL IS MISSING AND ONE IS BENT BUT CAN BE REPAIRED EASILY. For its age its still in quite good condition in my opinion, and i have been collecting for 45 years. This one is a bargain even at todays sad antique toy values. TAKE A LOOK AND SEE WHAT YOU THINK.
