Tin Horse and Cart Toy by NonPareil For Sale

This cart is a very very early American toy circa 1910.  It is simple, yes, but it is a beginning of the end of cast iron toys.  Cast iron was heavy and expensive to make, tin toys soon took over.

This Nonpareil (without equal) is American made and in original condition.  The driver, wheels, and horse are all original and the decoration is tin lithography.

Our set is approximately 10 inches long and the trailer tips, for coal, gravel, or whatever load kids wanted to play with.

-A great surviving American tin toy circa 1910.
