Rare! Vintage Original 1950s Ohlsson & Rice Midget Tether Race Car. Original Ohlsson & Rice Midget tethered pusher racing car, circa early-1950s. Manufactured by Ohlsson & Rice, Inc. Designed originally as a scale model of a Lujie Lesovsky-built Offenhauser powered midget which won numerous races during the 1948 season at the famed Gilmore Stadium track. The O&R Midget racer is arguably the most realistic app...earing tether car of the post-war era.
The paint and decals have been redone and the car is in very nice condition for it's age. And this car is a pusher, not powered by the gas engine typical to the Ohlsson & Rice cars. All four rubber tires are good, no missing chunks of rubber, steel solid center wheels at all four corners, original steering wheel, hand fuel pump, exhaust pipe and brake lever are all still intact. This is a large race car, it measures 10" in length. Very nice overall condition. Please look at the 9 attached photos and bid accordingly, ask any questions you may have, sold as is. From the non-smoking estate of an avid Toy collector! Please look at my other auctions for more items from this estate! Please look at the photos and bid accordingly, I will answer any questions you may have. Sold as is.
I will combine auctions to save shipping costs.
Buyer pays actual shipping. No handling charges.
Payment is expected within 7 days from end of auction. (Unless bidder and I have agreed different prior to close of auction). I do file a Non Paying Bidder Alert with Ebay for non-payments!!
PLEASE NOTE: Many states have jumped on the Internet Sales Tax bandwagon as of October 1st and Ebay now collects taxes for those states. I have nothing to do with those taxes, they are paid by Ebay but charged to you, I do not collect the tax money. Check the list on Ebay of the states that this applies to, call your Congressman to complain, I have no control over it.
