Louis Marx 1930's Wind-Up toy, it's 24 inches long, it's one of the biggest wind up toys done in that time period. After you wind it up, the tin cars and buses loop around in a circle across the bridge. Thanks for looking!

Thanks Scottvez, fourpeepsake, and Bellin68 for the nice comments. Bellin68, these toys are out there, but the better the condition the higher the price. Good Luck on finding one!
