Description from the seller
Franklin Mint
Scale 1:8 – (Mercedes) Benz Patent Motorwagen from 1886
Many parts work, such as the wheels, steering, chains, flywheel, and slip clutch between the wheels.
Various parts are gold-plated.
The model is in very good condition.
The model has been authenticated by the Mercedes-Benz Museum.
Franklin Mint released this precision model in 1989, advertising it as the “World’s First Automobile.”
A highly detailed model, made primarily of metal parts.
The drive belt to the wheels was originally a rubber band. It has been replaced with a leather belt.
This vintage model has stood in a display case for nearly 40 years, and some small parts may be missing.
The photos show the model being offered.
31 cm long, 17 cm wide, and 20 cm high
At the time, no one could have known that this simple carriage, with a speed of 12 km/h, marked the beginning of the automobile age. The first Benz had a 990 cc, 0.9 hp, four-stroke single-cylinder engine that drove the two spoked wheels via a differential.
Steering was controlled by a rack-and-pinion mechanism attached to a tiller; braking was done with a lever on the drive mechanism.
The top speed was approximately 16 km/h.
