Vintage 1930’s Sweeping Mammy - Rare Collectible Black Americana Tin Litho Wind Up Toy. This unique toy spent many years stored in my great-aunt’s attic. We only recently found out that she had owned this gem. Made by the Lindstrom Corporation of Bridgeport, Connecticut. Model #1750. The toy stands approx. 8" in height and by winding the key in back the broom moves/sweeps. The metal surface is 99% free of dents and the color is almost perfect. Still bright and vibrant! See photos. ...The toy is marked "LINDSTROM CORPORATION MADE IN U.S.A." If you hold the toy and wind the key, it does operate for a bit and then stop, which shows that the mechanism is complete. To find this rare, antique toy in such good condition is unusual. Excellent for a vintage, tin toy collection.I will ship within one business day of the sale closing. I am offering free shipping in the US and a fixed rate for international shipping.
