Barclay Manoil Lead Cast Terraplane . 1930's .
I put it out there to an American toy group, it was ID'd in 37 seconds.
Barclay and Manoil were two separate companies making similar toys. I have not seen this one before, but my guess would be Manoil. The white tires would normally put it late 30's
Both companies used this type axle, one end smashed flat. I think Manoil made more cars similar to the futuristic car shown here.
Love the look of this one.
ok, revision on this one. It is actually a Charles A. Wood.
1930's Charles A. Wood Novelty Company (C.A.W.)
Prewar Novelty Wonder Special (CWV7) No.33 Airflow Coupe
W/ 3 Rubber Wheels & Metal Axles
Manufactured In Clay Center, KS USA
Even with 2000 members in a toy group, we had some issues on this one.
Took the top guy to get this one right.
Quite rare tsbeem. Company only in business 15 years. 1925-1940
You got it Otaco4me. I should have gotten the book out. The one in the above photo looked much larger, that's why they should post the size.
There are two listed:
1- Streamline Coupe #30 @ 3 in long, Airflow
2- Wonder Special #33 @ 3-3/8 in long airflow.
I think this one is the #33 version.
Agree #33.. you all are great help. Has hard wheels not rubber. Ver cool.. thanks for the help.
