Fontaine Fox WIND UP TOY w/ Driver
Each side of the toy is marked "Copyright 1922 by Fontaine Fox".  The toy is constructed of lithographed tin, and features a fixed wind key on the left side.  When wound, the toy drives forward and it is in working condition.
The trolley is a Toonerville Trolley made famous in the Toonerville Folks cartoons by Fontaine Fox. The trolley is made of metal with cut out windows and a yellow and red painted body. At the top of the trolley is a cable.  On each side it is marked with "Toonerville Trolley No. 280098. Copyright 1922 By Fontaine Fox." At the front of the trolley is the original driver that is holding a rod that moves when the toy is wound. At the bottom of the trolley is a winding key. The winding key is stiff to turn and the gears move when the key is turned. Mechanism appears to need some adjusting/oiling. Underside bottom of the trolley is marked with "D.R.P. 257554 G.M. 33967 Pat. Applied For." Guaranteed to be old. This neat toy trolley would make a great addition to any wind up toy or Toonerville memorabilia collection!
As previously stated the mechanism of the trolley needs some adjusting/oiling. General light wear from age and use.
