SCHUCO VINTAGE & COMPLETE TIPPY 990 FULLY OPERATIONAL W/BOX, KEY & INSTRUCTIONS
Item History & Price
HERE I AM OFFERING UP ANOTHER ONE OF MY UNIQUE SCHUCO VEHICLES/MODELS/ITEMS/SETS. THIS IS THEIR VERY RARE "TIPPY 990". THIS IS THEIR VERSION (AND POSSIBLY THE ORIGINAL VERSION) OF A TERRIER (DOG) PLAYING WITH A BALL
HAVING JUST RECENTLY MOVED, I WAS ABLE TO LOCATE A BUNCH OF FORGOTTEN ITEMS FROM MY CHILDHOOD, THIS TIPPY 990 IS ONE SUCH ITEM.
I HAVE HAD THIS STASHED AWAY WITH A FEW HUNDRED (TO THOUSANDS) OR SO ADDITIONAL MODELS THAT I HAVE INHERITED AND COLLECTED OVER THE ...PAST 5 PLUS DECADE.
THIS SCHUCO TIPPY 990 IS NOT A REPRODUCTION! IT WAS/IS MADE IN THE US ZONE OF GERMANY WHICH ORIGINATED IN 1945 AND ENDED IN 1949. YOU WILL FIND ON THE INCLUDED ORIGINAL BOX AND ON TIPPY'S UNDERSIDE, "MADE IN US-ZONE OF GERMANY". I DID NOTICE THAT THE ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS ARE "MADE IN WESTERN GERMANY" SO THIS TELLS ME THAT THIS WAS A VERY LATE ISSUANCE OF THIS TIPPY 990, SO I WOULD SAY IT IS SAFE TO SAY THAT THIS WAS MADE IN LATE 1948 OR EARLY 1949.
THE CLOCKWORK SPRING IS STRONG AND ORIGINAL TO THIS TIPPY 990, AS IS THE DETACHABLE TIN BALL.
THIS IS A VERY EASY ITEM TO USE AND TO ENJOY. AFTER CAREFULLY EXTRACTING TIPPY FROM THE BOX, YOU SIMPLY ATTACH THE BALL TO THE NOSE OF TIPPY, AS THEIR IS A RECEIVER THERE TO ACCEPT IT. THEN YOU WIND IT UP AND PLACE IT DOWN ON ANY LEVEL AND FIRM SURFACE AND WATCH TIPPY RUN OFF PLAYING WITH HIS BALL! ALL OF THE LEGS MOVE AND ON THE UNDERSIDE OF TIPPY, YOU HAVE A NICE SIZE SOFT RUBBER WHEEL WHICH PROPELS TIPPY EFFORTLESSLY AROUND.
ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS AN ORIGINAL, VINTAGE, CLOCKWORK MODEL/ITEM AND NOT A REPRODUCTION THEREOF! IT'S OLD AND IT'S USED .... BUT, NEVER HAS IT BEEN ABUSED! AS A COLLECTOR, ONE MUST ASSUME THAT SOME LITTLE QUARKS MIGHT ARISE ON CERTAIN MODELS AND ARE CONSIDERED IN FACT, "NORMAL" AND SOMETIMES EVEN EXPECTED! YOU HAVE NO SUCH ISSUES WITH THIS SCHUCO TIPPY 990. BUT, THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT WILL WORK PERFECTLY RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX..... EVERY TIME. YOU MIGHT HAVE TO TWEAK THE FRONT ARMS AS THEY MIGHT HAVE SHIFTED FROM BEING PACKAGED. IN ADDITION, THE NOSE MIGHT HAVE BEEN PUSHED IN SLIGHTLY CLOSING THE RECEIVER FOR THE BALL. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NEVER HAD THESE ISSUES, THAT DOES NOT MEAN ONE WILL NOT ARISE! I STATE BECAUSE EVERY NOW AND THEN SOME ROCKET SCIENTIST WITH WAY TOO MUCH MONEY WILL PURCHASE SOMETHING FROM ME WHICH IS 60 YEARS OLD AND HE WOULD EXPECT IT TO RUN LIKE NEW! THEN HE COMPLAINS LIKE A TODDLE WHO HAS HIS PACIFIER WITHIN SIGHT, BUT SLIGHTLY OUT OF REACH! THIS IS FRUSTRATING TO ME, SO IN TIME, I'LL HAVE TO WRITE TWO (2) PAGES OF "WHAT IF'S" OR A HUGE DISCLAIMER TO KEEP THE POWERS THAT REIGN SUPREME AT EBAY AT BAY! AND EVEN THEN ..... IN THE END ..... IT DOES NOT MATTER !! ALL UNFORTUNATE ... BUT TRUE!
IN ORDER TO PROTECT MY INTEGRITY AGAINST THOSE WHO KNOW MORE THEN ME, THE ABOVE DISCLAIMER WILL APPEAR AS A "REGULAR" CUT AND PASTE FEATURE IN MOST OF MY FORTHCOMING LISTINGS! HAVING MY DAD AS A CO-OWNER OF A TOY DISTRIBUTOR IN NYC FOR CLOSE TO A HALF OF A CENTURY DOES NOT MAKE ME AN EXPERT, HOWEVER HAVING THOUSAND OF UNIQUE TOYS BROUGHT HOME OVER THE YEARS WITH TOTAL AND COMPLETE ACCESS TO THEM (SOME OF WHICH YOU SEE LISTED HERE) SORT OF GIVES ME AN EDGE OVER THESE ROCKET SCIENTISTS! I AM NOT AN EXPERT, BUT, I AM A FAR DISTANCE FROM BEING A NOVICE!
WITH THIS BEING SAID, I WILL TRY TO INFORM YOU OF WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WILL BE RECEIVING FROM ME. I DO ASK THAT YOU TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MY PICTURES AS THESE DO A MUCH BETTER JOB OF SHOWING YOU EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WILL BE RECEIVING FROM ME VS. MY WORDS HERE. IF, AT ANY TIME .... AND YES EVEN YEARS AFTER YOU PURCHASE SOMETHING FROM ME, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, CONCERNS OR ISSUES, FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME HERE ON EBAY AND I WILL RESPOND ONCE I HAVE READ YOUR MESSAGE(S).
I HAVE SOLD MULTIPLE ITEMS TO MUSEUMS AND COLLECTORS WORLDWIDE, I AM ALWAYS AROUND TO HELP IF HELP IS NEEDED. I HAVE NOT EVEN REACHED 30% OF WHAT I HAVE IN HOUSE TO LIST AND I HAVE DUPLICATES OF MANY ITEMS, SOME LISTED AT THIS TIME AND MANY NOT YET LISTED. IF I LIST IT ...IT WORKS! I DO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I AM NOT THE CHEAPEST SELLER HERE ON EBAY, BUT I ASSURE YOU THAT WHAT YOU SEE BEING REPRESENTED HERE IS WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE.
I TAKE PRIDE IN MY OFFERINGS THAT I OFFER HERE IN THE E-BAY WORLD. I DO HAVE OPTIONS AND I CHOOSE TO OFFER ONLY THE VERY FINEST THAT I HAVE AVAILABLE. I TEST EVERYTHING PRIOR TO LISTING THEM AND ONCE AGAIN PRIOR TO SENDING THEM OFF. I DO THIS SO WE WILL BOTH BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE END RESULT, IT'S THE ONLY WAY I DO THINGS! THIS SCHUCO "TIPPY 990" WILL NOT NEED TO BE TESTED AS I DO KNOW ITS WHOLE LIFE'S HISTORY AND I AM 100% SURE THAT YOU WILL BE VERY PROUD TO OWN THIS ITEM AND TO ADD IT TO YOUR COLLECTION. AND WITH A LITTLE DUE DILIGENCE EXERCISED HERE, YOU WILL GET AS MANY YEARS OUT OF PLEASURE AND USE OF THIS ITEM AS I HAVE. I DO HAVE ANOTHER ONE OF THESE WHICH I WILL BE LISTING SHORTLY. THIS ONE TOO IS IN PERFECT OPERATIONAL CONDITION/SHAPE. THE DIFFERENCE IS THE BOX!! THE ONE HERE IS IN MUCH BETTER SHAPE THEN THE NEXT TIPPY 990 I WILL BE LISTING!!
AGAIN, PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MY PICTURES AS THEY DO BECOME AN IMPORTANT AND VITAL PART OF THE DESCRIPTION. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR DESIRE ADDITIONAL PICTURES, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME VIA E-BAY MESSAGING AND I WILL DO THE REST!
THIS RARE AND LIGHTLY USED, SCHUCO CLOCKWORK, "TIPPY 990" IS ANOTHER EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF A ITEM AND AN ERA THAT HAS LONG PASSED US BY.
THIS IS A RELATIVELY NEW STORE FOR ME HERE ON E-BAY, BUT, I COME WITH A WELL OILED AND POLISHED TRACK RECORD! I AM CURRENTLY (NOT ON THIS ACCOUNT ... YET!!) A GOLD /RATED POWER~SELLER WITH OVER 8 YEARS OF THIS STATUS BACKING ME. I SPECIALIZE IN PRIMARILY THE AUTOMOTIVE FIELD AND I CONCENTRATE WITH/ON PORSCHE, BENTLEY, AUDI AND "PORSCHE DESIGN" ITEMS/ACCESSORIES.
I HAVE A UPS ACCOUNT AND MOST OF MY OFFERINGS HERE SHALL BE SENT THAT WAY. I PACK EACH AND EVERY ITEM MYSELF AND DO SO AS IF I WERE RECEIVING IT. ALL OF MY DOMESTIC SHIPMENTS WILL BE INSURED FOR THE SELLING PRICE. I ENTER THE SHIPPING DATA DAILY INTO BOTH E-BAY AND PAYPAL. THIS SCHUCO "TIPPY 990" WILL BE SENT VIA THE USPS AND WILL BE FULLY INSURED.
FOR MY INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS, THIS ITEM WILL BE PLACED INTO EBAY'S "GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM (GSP)". UNFORTUNATELY, IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD A FEW RUN-IN'S WITH SOME SCRUPULOUS BUYERS, WHO BY THEIR VERY NATURE "DO NOT PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS". BY UTILIZING EBAY'S GSP THIS OFFERS "WE THE SELLERS" SOME ADDED PROTECTION FROM BUYERS WITH THIS STATE OF MIND AND ATTITUDE.
IN ADDITION, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DECLARE THIS ITEM FOR $20.00 AND THEN TURN AROUND AND INSURE IT FOR IT'S ACTUAL VALUE, SO PLEASE, DO NOT ASK IF I WILL LOWER IT'S DECLARATION VALUE. BY USING EBAY'S GSP, THEY DETERMINE IF ANY "IMPORT FEES" ARE TO BE COLLECTED AS THEY ARE IN CONTACT WITH YOUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND NEGOTIATE THIS RATE (OR FEE) TO BE COLLECTED. I HAVE NO CONTROL OR SAY IN THIS MATTER, SO PLEASE DO NOT FAULT ME FOR THIS ACTION.
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, PLEASE READ THE VERY BOTTOM OF THIS SECTION AS IT DOES APPLY TO YOU.....
THIS SCHUCO TIPPY 990 IS OFFERED IN A BUY-IT-NOW FORMAT AND THIS IS A ONE-OF-A-KIND LISTING BY ME IN THIS OVERALL SHAPE/CONDITION.
HERE I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN READING ALL OF THE ABOVE.
I WILL BE ADDING TO MY STORE HERE ON A REGULAR BASIS AS IT HAS BECOME A MISSION TO GET UP TO 500 LISTINGS IN THIS STORE PRIOR TO THE HOLIDAYS .... SO BE SURE TO CHECK ME OUT AGAIN AND OFTEN!
I ALSO HAVE A BUNCH OF COOL VINTAGE ITEMS FROM ALPS, BANDAI, TECHNOFIX, SCHUCO AND OTHERS. IN ORDER TO VIEW SOME OF THESE ITEMS IN AN ORDERLY AND CONCISE FASHION, YOU NEED TO ENTER MY STORE HERE ON EBAY. TO DO THIS YOU NEED TO LOCATE THAT TINY DOOR NEAR MY SELLERS INFORMATION. A SINGLE CLICK ON IT WILL "OPEN" THE VIRTUAL DOOR TO MY STORE.
ONCE YOUR IN MY STORE, TO THE LEFT YOU WILL SEE A LIST OF CATEGORIES, SIMPLY CLICK ON THE ONE THAT TICKLES YOUR FANCY AND HAVE SOME FUN LOOKING AT WHAT I HAVE LISTED AT THIS TIME! THE "SEARCH" BAR WILL FURTHER REFINE YOUR SEARCH (IF NEEDED/DESIRED). TO VIEW JUST MY SCHUCO LISTINGS ... SIMPLY TYPE IN "SCHUCO" AND CLICK ON "SEARCH". NOW JUST MY ACTIVE SCHUCO LISTINGS WILL POP-UP FOR YOUR PERUSAL/CONSIDERATIONS.
