Pat. 219599
Rare mid-century tin litho mechanical wind-up toy featuring "Bronco Bill", a cowboy performing a spinning lasso trick while riding his Palomino horse. There are two maker's identification marks, printed in all-capital letters, found above each of the horse's hooves. On the horse's right leg it is signed:
"ALPS TOY CO.PAT. NO. 219599"
And on the horse's left leg it is signed:
"TRADE M...ARKC/KREG. JAPAN, ENGLAND, USA & INDIA.MADE IN JAPAN"
CONDITION: Although it appears that this old toy has been seldom played with over its 70+ years of existence, its wind-up movement is in need of repair, as it is currently not working. Also, the horse is missing his right ear. Also worth noting are the surface colors on the cowboy's plastic body are showing signs of age from fading.
That being said, this toy is beautiful to look at, and it makes a great toy for display in any wind-up or vintage Western toy collection. It can also be used for parts. Bidding starts low, and there is no reserve. Please ask any questions you may have prior to bidding. I will answer all inquiries in a timely manner. Thank you, and happy bidding!
