1935 MALCOM CAMPBELL'S "BLUE BIRD" RACER MADE BY BUFFALO TOY CO. VERY RARE!

MASSIVE SIZE "CLOCKWORK" LAND SPEED RECORD CAR (21.5 inch) MALCOLM CAMPBELL'S LEGENDARY BLUEBIRD. RARELY SEEN TINPLATE TIN TOY CAR made in U.S.A , by Buffalo Toys tin toy racer is now getting on for 90 years old. I've owned this a some time....superbly impressive display piece...so large, at over 21 inches. Car has survived in great shape original finish, with its blue body work, and glittering gold underside! amazingly, all the exhaust ports still in place....still with its tin wheels, driver and decals/emblems. Bluebird even has her front rubber bumper stop...which always seem to go missing. the unique spiral winding system still works...hold and steadily pull the rear knob outwards to wind up the motor release, and with a little help, off she goes! condition is great, especially considering how old this is.....there's the odd imperfection dink in body (mostly from manufacture process I think)...and odd scratch, rub mark, scuff, chip to finish...but still bright and attractive.....and wonderfully rust-free. The underside has only minimal scuffs etc...and retains its lovely golden finish. Has been tested and works great. 21 1/2"L x 5 1/2"W x 3"T.
