Carette Ferris Wheel Tin from Early 1900’s with Music Box *SOLD*

Carette Ferris Wheel tin from Early 1900s with Music Box 

Our original condition cream and red ferris wheel is in all original condition.  Red colors are faded to a light red than pink.  It is a great effect.

Gondolas are a eye catching green, blue, purple, pink, and then cream/pink.  Much of the toy is hand painted.  All riders are present and gondolas rotate as the wheel turn.  Paint has chipping and aging as shown, but is in very good to excellent condition of a 100 year old toy.

The music box works with its lever action- push the lever down and then release, that in turn starts a music box flywheel and spinning metal paddles on the base. the motor also powers the ferris wheel to spin.  Note that the original spring/belt has lost some tension and needs a tightening to run consistently without the belt slipping at times.  We chose to leave the original as-is.

Carette of Germany is known for their very high quality toys and excellent lithographs.  Our toy predates many of the lithos and is likely from turn of the century, we would guess about 1910 or so.  They just didn’t survive the Great War and this one is a treat to enjoy.  All gondolas and the entire toy is in high condition and original.
