J Chein Holy Grail Vintage Tin Airplane Toy. Video. Works.

For the serious collector.

Please enlarge the pictures for a visual inspection. Ask all questions before bidding.

In my 30 years of collecting J Chein toys, this is only the 2nd time I have seen this toy. This is the very first amusement park toy ever made by Chein. The semi circular logo dates it to the 1910's. Ultra scarce.

No clock work was used. Instead, a gear winds the airplanes around the tower by manually pressing the thumb tab. This can be done once, to set the airplanes flying, or repeatedly to keep them in flight. A very simple and crude design back when the Chein company first was founded.

Toy is in very good condition with minimal scratches. Litho still holds a sheen, the base is near perfect. Height is approximately 8 inches high and the planes measure about 2 1/2 inches long.

Additional photos gladly provided.
