I'm not too great on knowing if things like this are worth much or not. The wheels all turn, the steering works, and I'm too big to ride it. :p <br /><br />Has anyone seen one of these? I think it is home made but not sure.<br /><br />

<br /><br />Its length is about 4 inches, height about 3 and width is about 2 and half.

Interesting SS. Me Mom is into this sort of thing and has a ton of books. I'll check with her and see if we find something out.<br /><br />It really looks like a cast toy from the early 1900's. Hold on to it. No telling what it's worth.<br /><br />Maybe one of the other guys can help also.

Hi Jim, Looking at it real close, it looks as if coat hanger wire was used to make it. Just not sure. Mz Mayfloat now has it in her cabinet with her prize collection of bears. Its rough keeping the grandkids from wanting to play with it.

That's neat SS. Looks an Antiques Roadshow find! My wife and I do some stuff with Antiques, I'll check around and see what I can find out.
