Wyandotte Toys All Metal Products Company SS America Tin Lithographed Ocean Liner *SOLD*

Wyandotte Toys All Metal Products Company SS America Tin Lithographed Ocean Liner

Stellar Ship SS America sails off with pressed tin and steel wheels and manufactured by Wyandotte Toys (All Metal Products Co.) of Wyandotte, Michigan.  Our toy is near new old stock and a delight to hold.  It is of a smaller scale, but the colors are extremely bright and design top notch for American pressed tin.

Lithography has what first appears to be discolorations on the edges of the design, but this is actually caused by the toy maker’s pressings.  The Litho was first printed and then formed second; it is a factory characteristic.

The name and double litho flags are patriotic, as is the red pin striping with a white upper structure with blue highlights.

Our example of this Wyandotte S.S. America is in great all original condition with no breaks, restorations, repairs, or touch ups. The lithography on this is still bright and in great overall condition. This piece shows the usual patina, dust, chips, scuffs, surface rust, scratches, and wear that are to be expected from age and display. It is approximately 7” L. This would be a great and impressive addition to any collection. We invite you to view the photos to further determine quality and condition.
