Condition: For parts or not working / Excellent display condition
Up for sale is an all-original, 100% complete vintage "Rodeo Joe" tin lithograph mechanical toy manufactured by the Unique Art Manufacturing Company in the 1940s.
Condition Details:
Mechanical Status: Non-working. The internal clockwork mechanism does not currently engage or run. Sold explicitly AS-IS for repair, display, or as a high-value parts donor.
Completeness: 100% physically complete. Unlike most specimens on the market, this toy retains all easily lost components: the original silver high-crown cowboy hat, the delicate steering column/wheel, and the rear barrel featuring the coffee pot lithograph.
Cosmetics: The lithographed paint remains exceptionally bright, vivid, and colorful. Shows minor, honest surface wear, light scuffs, and expected oxidation on the unpainted metal undercarriage and wheel edges consistent with its 80+ year age. No major dents or structural bends.
Approximate Measurements: Height: 9.75" (to top of hat) Length: 7.5" Width: 3.75"
