Came from family house. Can’t find this toy anywhere and it has no markings. About 14” long. To play it gets turned up and down. Gravity takes the riders down. Anyone know the toy or the maker? Thanks
Finally found the toy. It is a Gibbs See-Saw Perpetual Motion Tin Toy
Thanks!

Very nice one. A lot of these pieces are now called balance toys. I liked when I bought my first ibn the 70's, which is reproduced now but made tiny now. Yours resembles the the style of the repros which have this painted look but are new and different. Yours is a nicer old one which may have come out of Germany. Nice to see the good condition of the paint. Hope you have a nice cabinet to display this one.
Thanks Phil,
I am now keeping my eyes open for an end piece. I think my only hope is to have one created by a metal or wood worker. Or at least find something close I can pick up in my travels.
