Vintage Unique Art Manufacturing Kiddy Cyclist Windup Tin Action Toy

Description: Vintage Unique Art Manufacturing Kiddy Cyclist Windup Tin Action Toy Vintage, Used This is a rare Kiddy Cyclist windup toy. It is made of tin and heavily lithographed. It was manufactured by Unique Art Manufacturing Company, New York and Newark, NJ during the 1930s. This adorable toy measures approximately 7½” Long and 5” Wide. The toy is nearly 9” High. All of the colors are bright but show considerable wear. It doesn’t seem to have been repainted. The enclosed wind up motor mechanism does appear to have been opened in the past. The tabs seem to have been bent back to open up the motor housing and then bent back again, as shown in the photos. The toy is complete with a bell and a key wind up motor to include a Start/Stop lever. It appears that all wind up parts are included and encased in a housing between the two back wheels. The little boy’s hands are attached to the handle bar and his feet are attached to the pedals as shown in the photos. All of the wheels are adorned with images of boys and girls, teddy bears, bunny rabbits, duckling, butterfly and puppies. This is a very unique toy and will add interest to any toy collection. This toy needs some adjustments to work properly. It was suggested that an individual with some mechanical skills should be able to disassemble the wind up motor, perform necessary repairs and reassemble the motor (unfortunately, I am not that individual). Regardless as to whether or not you are able to make any necessary adjustments, this charming toy displays beautifully on any shelf, bookcase or within any collection. This retro looking action toy provides a “time gone by” quality and easily adds a touch of joy to your home or office. It is truly a conversation starter. Whether you decide to display this toy on its own or to display it with other similar unique toys (possibly within a collection), it is sure that this piece will make quite a statement.
