This product data sheet is originally written in English.


RARE 18K GOLD 1954 MERCEDES BENZ W196 SILVER ARROW SILBERPFEIL RENNWAGEN GRAND PRIX FORMULA ONE RACE CAR CHARM PENDANT ! Bottom marked 750 for 18K gold as well as B 91. Weighs approximately 4.8 grams. Approximately 3.04 cm (1 3/16 inches) in length excluding attachment loop and bale, and approximately 1.1 cm (6.8/16 of an inch) in width. The wheels actually spin and it roles beautifully like an actual toy car, lots of fun ! In 1954 Mercedes re-entered Grand Prix racing for the first time since World War II and won the race for 1954 and 1955 with this revolutionary streamline design race car ! So cool that a fine art jeweler created this miniature version in the 1950s so a contemporary art jewel to mark a historical event in racing ! Morestone which was competing with Matchbox created similar toy cars so this was definitely inspired by them since the wheels are very similar, and possibly created by the owners for themselves and family and friends to celebrate their recent found success and so commissioned a few miniature examples of their craft in 18K gold, an assumption since all these events occurred within the same time frame ?! I have another earlier Mercedes Benz racer created by the same art jeweler, its a Silver Arrow (Silberpfeil) W154 model in 18K gold with some artist impression inclusions in the design in my store that might also be of interest to you ? Do you love all things to do with cars and racing ? Whether its the Matchbox Morestone toy car company or the Grand Prix Formula One as well as the advancement in engine and design technologies then this cool toy is for you ! Perhaps you own the actual cars themselves and would like the coolest keychain accessory to go with it ? Or simply want to add a museum quality jewel to your historical collection, then catch this racer before it takes off ! Feel free to check out my other Museum Quality Collection !
