VINTAGE LINEMAR MARX TOUCHDOWN PETE WIND-UP TOY

VINTAGE LINEMAR MFG. CO. TOUCHDOWN PETE, TIN WIND-UP TOY! C. 1940-50 -opamerica
This rare find is made of tin and shows no dents and is complete, right down to the original body, legs, rollers, metal plate that makes him go up and down, and wind-up key. Winding mechanism works perfectly, and item is in great shape! There is no rust, and everything is original and intact. LITHOGRAPHING IS THE NICEST THAT I HAVE SEEN FOR THIS PIECE! This extremely hard to find antique wind-up toy is all original and is 4 1/2" high and 4 ½" long.
The toy easily wind up and will run. The lithographing is the brightest that I have seen. The colors are very bright and make a spectacular presentation on a collector shelf. This is a rare antique toy for the high-end collection, or to be displayed by an interior decorator for its whimsical and vintage look!
