Some more of my vintage wind-up toys, with the scarcest one being the Marx Smitty scooter inspired by the comic character, he is out of the 1920's. Then of course there is Popeye, he is out of the 1950's, he is also one of my favorites. Also is the 1930's Marx toy called Hee Haw 'Mule pulling wagon' with the milk cans in the back, and finally is Marx toy Pinocchio wind-up dated 1939. Thanks for looking!

Very nice chevy.
It's a real treat to be able to view these exceptional examples of vintage tin windup toys. The whale on the Pinocchio toy is just as scary as I remember from the film. Thanks for sharing them.
