Vintage Louis Marx & Company 1950’s Sparkling Turnover Tank No. 5 Tin Litho Wind-up Toy. Overall length 4”. Includes key.
This item is in overall good, working condition. The action works very well but was careful not to overwind. The toy’s unique wind-up mechanism allows the tank to roll forward, stop, & flip over backwards, then proceed forward again.
There is some wear & minor paint loss due to the toy's age & use (see photos) - no rust. Maintains good colors despite the toy’s age.
This classic toy would make a great addition to any vintage toy collection or be a valuable addition to any antique dealer’s stock.
Thanks for taking a look.
