AC Williams Black Cast Iron Model T Coupe Car Toy for Sale

AC Williams Black Cast Iron Model T Coupe Car Toy

While this Model T Coupe car has no markers mark we attribute it to A.C. Williams Co. of Revenna, Ohio.  It is great interpretation of an old Ford. We believe it to be a delicate casting of a base model Model T Coupe.

Condition is very good with some play wear.  Paintwork is strong and bright with over 85% coverage; keep in mind AC Williams paintwork was hit and miss from the factory and thinner than other makers. Their castings often had smaller bumps, versus Arcade which sanded theirs at times, so these bumps show small chips with time. Thinner silver paint is present on the wheels.

Our example of this Model T Coupe is in good all original condition with no restorations, repairs, breaks or touch ups. This piece shows the usual patina, chips, scuffs, scratches, surface rusting and wear that are to be expected from age and play. It is approximately 4” x 1 ½” x 2 ¼”. This would be a great addition to any A.C. Williams/cast iron collection. We invite you to view the photos to further determine quality and condition.

 

 

A brief history of A.C. Williams Co. of Ravenna, Ohio:

The A. C. Williams Company was founded in business in Chagrin Falls, Ohio in 1844. It was founded by John Wesley Williams, the father of A. C. Williams. However there was a big fire at the company, and a decision was made to move to Ravenna. Ohio. Actual production started there in 1893.

Like the other famous cast iron companies of the time (Hubley, Dent, Kilgore, Arcade, Kenton), A.C. Williams manufactured cast iron cars and trucks.  From 1893 to 1923 they produced cast-iron horse-drawn rigs, autos, airplane, penny banks and tractor toys; the line included mostly miniatures distributed through Woolworth, Kresge`s, and other five-and-dime stores. They even produced some tin cars towards the end of the company’s relatively long history. Unfortunately, in 1938 they closed their toy production and continued in other ventures to this day.
