HERE I AM OFFERING UP ANOTHER ONE OF MY SCHUCO VEHICLES/MODELS. THIS IS THEIR RARE "CHARLY" 1005 EDITION ART. NR. 45 019 8500. ALTHOUGH THIS IS A REPRODUCTION OF THE ORIGINAL MODEL, THEY USED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL PLATES, DIES AND MOLDS TO MAKE THESE LIMITED EDITION REPRODUCTIONS. IN THIS CASE THEY ONLY MADE 2,000 OF THESE REPRODUCTION MODELS FOR WORLDWIDE DISTRIBUTION!

I HAVE HAD THESE STASHED AWAY WITH A FEW HUNDRED (TO THOUSANDS) OR SO ADDITIONAL MODELS THAT I HAVE COLLECTED OVER THE PAST 5 PLUS DECADE. THESE CHARLY 1005 MODELS ARE THE NEWEST ADDITION TO MY COLLECTION.

I JUST RECENTLY RE~DISCOVERED SOME OF THESE NEWEST ACQUISITIONS AND THOUGHT ... WHY NOT LIST THEM! SO HERE SOME OF THESE WILL NOW APPEAR!

THIS MODEL IS A VERY RARE REPRODUCTION EXAMPLE, NOT ONLY WAS THIS LIMITED TO 2000 MODELS ALL OF WHICH WERE MANUFACTURED IN 2010, BUT, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE MODELS THAT WHEN A COLLECTOR GETS A HOLD OF IT ...IT'S GONE! AND FOR GOOD REASON! THESE MAKE A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO ONE'S COLLECTION! ADD TO THE FACT, THAT THIS IS A "CHARLY" 1005 MODEL WHICH IS TRUE NOS (NEW OLD STOCK) AND THE DESIRE TO HANG ON TO THESE MOTORCYCLES SKYROCKETS!

THIS MOTORCYCLE IS MADE FULLY OF TIN AND IS CLOCKWORK DRIVEN. THE OPERATION IS SIMPLE AND PRETTY COOL TO WATCH.

TO OPERATE THIS MOTORCYCLE, ALL YOU NEED DO IS TO WIND IT UP AND PLACE IT ON ANY HARD AND LEVEL SURFACE. NONE OF THESE VINTAGE CLOCKWORK MODELS HAVE BEEN DESIGNED FOR USE ON CARPETS! SO PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND.

ONCE YOU PLACE THIS DOWN, YOU WILL SEE THAT IT IS ON AN ANGLE. THIS IS NO MISTAKE AS THIS IS HOW THESE HAVE BEEN DESIGNED. THE MOTORCYCLE WILL TAKE OFF AND PERFORM ONE (1) OF TWO (2) PATTERNS. YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO SWITCH BETWEEN AN OVAL AND A CIRCLE. THE CIRCLE IS ABOUT 18 INCHES IN CIRCUMFERENCE. IF YOU OPT FOR THE OVAL A TINY BAR WILL DROP DOWN FROM THE BOTTOM, LIFTING UP ONE SIDE OF THE MOTORCYCLE MAKING IT GO STRAIGHT FOR A SHORT DISTANCE. IT WILL THEN LIFT UP FORCING THE MOTORCYCLE TO TURN IN THE DIRECTION OF THE LEAN. A SECOND OR TWO LATER, THIS TINY BAR WILL ONCE AGAIN LOWER DOWN COMPLETING THE OVAL PATTERN.

THE CLOCKWORK NEEDS A GOOD WINDING AS THEIR IS A LOT OF DRAG ON THE BASE OF THIS MOTORCYCLE AS IT DOES NOTHING BUT TURN! BUT, THIS DOES WORK FINE AND AS DESIGNED.

THE FRONT WHEEL DOES TURN FREELY AS THE REAR IS STATIONARY AND SORT OF SKIPS OFF OF THE SURFACE.

ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS AN ORIGINAL SCHUCO MODEL AND IS A RE-MANUFACTURED MODEL OF ONE THAT THEY PRODUCED ORIGINALLY BACK IN THE '50'S. THE SAME DIES AND TOOLS WERE USED. THE BIG DIFFERENCE IS THAT THIS ONE WORKS PERFECTLY AS THE SPRING MECHANISM HAS BEEN RETOOLED AND HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP TO DATE WITH SOME STRONGER MATERIALS. SO YOU HAVE A MUCH GREATER CHANCE OF NOT BEING ABLE TO OVER WINDING IT, THUS DISABLING IT'S CLOCKWORK ENGINE.

YOU WILL RECEIVE THE MOTORCYCLE, THE ORIGINAL KEY IN IT'S ORIGINAL BOX WITH THE ORIGINAL OUTER SLEEVE, INNER PROTECTIVE WRAP, DUAL PLASTIC BAGS, INSTRUCTIONS, AND THE ORIGINAL CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY .... ALL OF WHAT YOU SEE PICTURED, YOU WILL RECEIVE!

I TAKE PRIDE IN MY MODELS 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 "CHARLY" 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 MODEL AND TO ADD IT TO YOUR COLLECTION.
