Rare Gebrüder Bing Open Top Tin Hand Painted & Lithographed Limousine German Windup Car for Sale *SOLD*

Rare Gebrüder Bing Open Top Tin Hand Painted & Lithographed Limousine German Windup Car for Sale

Our green four door open (canvas top down) limousine is quite a large toy.  Sized at over 12″ in length, it is a substantial windup and a challenging form to find.

The driver and the interior is a nicely detailed tin lithograph.  Side mounted mud guards have an opening tool box on one side.  The windup has a typical German hand brake to assist in winding the toy up as well as stopping.  Rear fenders have triangular vehicle markings painted on in black.

The condition is good, mostly original but with some restoration. The top cover in black, behind the rear seats, is restored or at least repainted.  Side green paint appears original with wear and some spidering.  Green paint varnish is thick and appears original.  The front windshield frame is likely a replacement.  Then all drive wheels appear original with play wear. We encourage you to examine the photographs to further determine condition and quality.
