Hans Eberl – Germany, 1920s A mechanical, spring-wound, lithographed tin toy, complete with original box. Up for auction is one of the most iconic pre-war models from Hans Eberl. Manufactured by: Hans Eberl Period: circa 1920s Material: lithographed tin Movement: spring-loaded (working and tested, although only for a few seconds to avoid damage, as the object has been standing still for almost 100 years, therefore likely requiring lubrication/overhaul to make the movement smoother, but it is complete and in working order) Side arches intact Driver figure present Original illustrated box included The toy is in excellent overall condition for its age, with: Vibrant and well-preserved lithograph Complete structural components Working mechanism Clean and correct mechanical bottom The original box is present, with normal signs of aging (minor tears and reinforcements), consistent with its age and historical preservation. Overall, a very well-preserved and complete example, difficult to find on the market with the original box. Complete, working models with the original box are becoming increasingly rare at specialized auctions. The item will be packaged with the utmost care and shipped insured. #classictoys
