This listing is for a Rare ca. 1932 Vintage Pressed Steel Riding / Pull Toy by Steelcraft in the shape of the Graf Zeppelin / Hindenburg Zeppelin Blimps. Made in Ohio in the USA, this art deco influenced toy really is a gem! See the last photo for an example of the original 1932 advertisement, which professes; “Model No. 108 - A real Zeppelin a child can ride. This is of heavy gauge steel and will stand hardest use.” Unfortunately what ended up doing most of these toys off was the rain! The cool art deco design is excellent for many rooms and a large variety of decor styles. Great for display as is with its original vintage patina, or a full restoration to sparkling silver- the choice is yours! It would look great on the mantle, desk, or shelf. Could also be hung from the ceiling for a cool effect. It makes this an excellent staple piece for your collection, one your friends definitely won’t have! A great collectors item, for use display gifting or decor.

It is in ok vintage condition, with no major damage. It has wear from play, as is expected, but does not appear to have any crushing from a rider who was too heavy. Has general paint & decal loss. I believe the paint to be original but am not sure. Fins are still attached with no major bending. Tabs that hold it together are in nice shape. It has some rust on the inside- see photo- that I was not able to try & clean without opening it up and risking breaking the tabs that hold it together. If done so properly by someone who knows what they are doing its a relatively easy clean of surface level rust & interior paint flakes. No cracking or major dents. One back wheel may be a replacement, but it is the correct size and color. Inside patterns on them dont match is all. The front caster still swivels and moves freely.

According to the manufacturer, the dimensions are as follows; Overall Length—24¾ inches. Width, 6 inches. Height, 7 inches. Rear Wheels, 3 inch diameter. Heavy steel discs. Front Wheel, caster-swivel type.
