Description
DISNEY 1936 "LIONEL DONALD DUCK AND PLUTO HAND CAR # 1107" MECHANICAL WIND-UP TOY WITH ORIGNAL KEY+10 SECTION 3 RAIL METAL TRACK + BOX SET + CUSTOM ORNAMENT.
THE VINTAGE 10 SECTION TRACK SET IS IN OVERALL VERY GOOD OR BETTER CONDITION.
ADDITIONAL TRACK IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE ON EBAY AT VERY REASONABLE PRICES.
DISNEY'S COLLABORATION WITH LIONEL TO PRODUCE THIS AND SIMILAR DISNEY LIONEL TOYS DURING THE DEPRESSION YEARS LITERALLY SAVED LIONEL FROM BANKRUPTCY. MR. DISNEY HAD A GREAT ADMIRATION FOR LIONEL AND DID NOT WANT TO SEE THEM MEET THERE DEMISE.
THIS TOY HAS ONE OF THE MORE INTERESTING MECHANICAL ACTIONS THAN OTHER SIMILAR TOYS OF THAT ERA.
WHEN THE WIND-UP HAND CAR CIRCLES THE TRACK, DONALD PUMPS HIS HAND BAR UP AND DOWN WHILE PLUTO'S HEAD IS SUSPENDED AND GRAVITY MOVES IT UP-AND-DOWN.
DONALD DUCK AND PLUTO ARE MADE UP OF HAND-PAINTED WOOD BASED COMPOSITION MATERIAL EXCEPT FOR PLUTO'S HEAVY CARDBOARD EARS.
THE COMPOSITION SUBSTRATE FOR BOTH DONALD AND PLUTO ARE IN OVERALL "
SCARCE
"
EXCELLENT
CONDITION WITH ONLY THE
MINIMAL
COSMETIC AND/OR CONSTRUCTION DISTRACTIONS.
THE PAINT IS STILL IN
VIBRANT
CONDITION OFFERING FANTASTIC DISPLAY QUALITIES.
THE TOY HAS AN APPROXIMATE OVERALL SIZE OF 3 1/2" X 10 1/2" X 6 3/4" TALL.
THIS HAND CAR COMES WITH A LIGHT GREEN PAINTED ROOF VERSION METAL DOG HOUSE AND IS IN EXCELLENT PLUS CONDITION.
A WHITE AND DARK GREEN VERSION WERE ALSO MADE.
THE ORANGE BACKGROUND COLORED METAL PLACARD ON ONE SIDE OF THE HAND CAR IS IN
SCARCE
NEAR MINT
CONDITION.
THE PLACARD IS
FREE OF CRAZING
WHICH IS ALSO SCARCE.
THE PLACARD HAS THE FOLLOWING PRINTED TEXT:
DONALD DUCK
(C) WALT DISNEY
HAND CAR
NO. 1107
THE LIONEL CORP. NEW YORK
MADE IN U. S. OF AMERICA
THE HANDCAR'S MOTOR-WORKS ARE IN
STRONG
WORKING CONDITION.
WHEN THE HANDCAR IS IN MOTION, A QUAKING SOUND EFFECT SHOULD TAKE PLACE. CURRENTLY, THIS
EFFECT
IS
NOT
WORKING. I HEAR IT A COUPLE OF TIMES WHILE TESTING.
THE WIND-UP KEY IS ORIGINAL TO THE SET.
THE RED PLATFORM IS IN GOOD/VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH A VARIETY OF COSMETIC AND/OR CONSTRUCTION DISTRACTIONS, SUCH AS:
1) THE END UNDER PLUTO HAS SOME BENDS 2) SPOT PAINT LOSS AND SOME PAINT TOUCH-UP(MOSTLY TO THE UNDERCARRIAGE 3) THE ORIGINAL 2 BEND-OVER METAL TABS THAT ONCE HELD THE MOTOR-WORKS TO THE PLATFORM HAD BROKEN OFF OVER THE YEARS(COMMON) 4) ONCE THE 2 BEND TABS WERE GONE, 2 METAL STUDS WERE PROFESSIONALLY INSTALLED TO RE-MOUNT THE MOTOR-WORKS TO THE PLATFORM(A REALLY GOOD JOB AND ONE OF THE BEST RETRO-FITS THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN!)
THE
2 PIECE BOX
IS A "
NEW
"
REPLICA
OF THE ORIGINAL.
THE BOX SET MEASURES APPROXIMATELY 9 1/4" X 12" X 4 3/8" TALL(INCLUDES THE BOTTOM BOX SECTION'S HANG-OVER AREA).
INCLUDED WITH THE SET IS A CUSTOM MADE WOOD BACKED LABELED HANGING ORNAMENT. THE ORNAMENT WAS HAND MADE BY MY WIFE AND WE CONSIDER IT A GIFT FROM OUR END.
PLEASE VIEW MY MANY ENCLOSED PHOTO REFERENCES FOR THE BEST TOOL TO USE IN DETERMINING THE OVERALL QUALITY OF THE PIECES THAT MAKE UP THIS WONDERFUL "HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER" SET FOR YOURSELF.
