Gibbs Mfg. Co. Tin Lithographed Racing Horses Pull Toy
This tin lithographed pull toy with racing horses and jockeys is unmarked but was most likely manufactured by Gibbs Mfg. Co. of Canton, Ohio. There is a possibility that they even used Chein patterns to make this toy.
When pulled or pushed forward the racehorses move up and down in a perpetual race against each other.
