Description: Nice 1950s tin friction circus truck with a working, turning merry-go-round. It works by pushing the truck forward, the carousel slowly spins around and there is a mechanism that rings a little bell per rotation. However, sometimes it doesn't' work. If you fiddle with it you can get it to work as it should but I'm not positive what I did to get it to work. It's related to the back tires and maybe the merry-go-round needs to be winded? Some might imagine this quickly spinning merry-go-round as you push the truck - the friction aspect slows the truck and hence, the merry-go-round as well. Condition is good - has a nice played-with rustic appeal and good color. It's missing the rear license plate/tail lights plate. There is some obvious paint wear and scratches. Try not to pick up by grabbing the carousel. The "poles" do separate from the top. It won't fall apart but you'll have to moves the poles back into its slots. This also might be why the spinning mechanism won't work sometimes. Still a neat little tin toy.
