1930s/40s Tootsietoy No.1016 Auburn Roadster Restored & Repainted

Beautiful diecast metal model of an Auburn Speedster 851/852 of 1935/36. First made by Tootsietoy in 1936 and through to 1941 before toy production was stopped due to the war. The model was briefly relaunched in 1946.

Earlier models originally had mono-colour bodies with the interior picked out in a different colour and simple silver detailing. Later models were mono-colour without any detailing.

This appears to be a later casting with little/no gaps between the bumpers and body.

This has been beautifully repainted in a dark blue with painted silver details, brown interior and painted rear lights.

Metal hubs painted dark red with correct type reproduction white rubber tyre and straight axles.

Length: 149mm

Width: 40mm

Height: 35mm

This really is a beautiful model and the restoration highlights the Art Deco design of the original model.
