Gasoline Alley Toys & Antiques
My previous post was about Gasoline Alley Toys. I had thought
I had written about them, but I didn't. So I contacted them to ask for their
permission, and I received it.
They have plenty of fine old and later-era toys to sell. What I found was that
they take plenty of photographs of each and every toy that they are selling.
That takes lots of time, and it shows all of the individual toys' features, both good
and with scratches and dents. That is a fine example of caring for the buyer!
As an example, the first sentence of the toy below was
"Vintage Marx Toys Flash Gordon Windup Rocket FIghter Tin Litho--for resto/parts"
Now that's honesty, which you don't see often enough on the 'Net from sellers!
Below
"Vintage Marx Toys Flash Gordon WindupRocket Fighter Tin-Litho--for resto/parts.
This is a Flash Gordon Rocket toy from Marx in Japan. The mechanism is wind up drive and has the sparking nozzle."
This rocket measures:
12 1/2" x 5" x 5"
31.75 cm x 12.7 cm x 12.7 cm
Yera: 1930's-1940's
Below:
Vintage Marx U.S.A. tin wind-up Walking Popeye carrying parrots in cages
with originalboxers. Toy in overall ok to decent condition with normal age-related wear, scratches, and paint loss. The box is ok with some stains and the top main flap is missing.
Year
1930's-40's
Below
"Vintage Marx Main Street City Airport- with planes, litho-lights not working good
It did not lighjt up when I tested it with a battery and the wiring looks cut at the bottom.
It includes the planes, but one has a broken propeller.
This station measures:
17" x 11" x 6"
43.18 cm x 27.94 cm x 15.24 cm
Even with the slight damage, there are places on the 'Net
that you can find to replace the missing parts.
Year: 1930's
So that's it for today.
I'm very happy to have been allowed to write about this fine company,
and I'm sure I'll be writing lots more about the "treasures" that they continue to find.
As always, thanks for dropping by,
and have a great part of the morning, noon, or evening,
wherever you may be.
