Rare, Unusual Old Tin Litho Penny Toy Inclined Car (Funicular?) candle sticks There is one sticky drawerI've done a fair amount of searching but can't find another old tin litho penny toy like this cool inclined one, which perhaps connected to a few others and a very steep ramp. I love it as its sits on a flat surface now, making everything around it feel askew. And hard to be the terrific color scheme, and very gangster looking driver at the helm! I can't find a mark on it and as I can't find another am not sure of the maker. Pre WWII I would guess.
