Does anyone have any idea what it's worth? KEYSTONE RIDE 'EM LOCOMOTIVE, 28" long, manufactured in the 1950's, with metal construction of all parts except wooden steering bar and rubber tires. This is a rideable toy with the metal seat affixed over the locomotive's cab. Brake lever on starboard side. Missing cowcatcher and bell. FAIR to GOOD condition with almost all of the original red and black paint intact. Keystone R.R. decals on either side of coal tender.

Hi bizagent,
You have a superb item from the late 1920's or early 30's, these items sell at auction for around the $200.00 mark or more depending on condition. There's also the riding steam roller, steam shovel, firetruck and others that surface every now and then. I have seen them at flea markets or house sales in beat up condition for as low as $3.00! There's one on eBay now with a $20.00 bid on an undisclosed reserve.
Cheers,
Bill.
