Clockwork tin toy from Gama

Gama toy

More information on this German toy racer

One of several producers of tin plate toys that could be found in Germany post-WW2, this racing car toy from Gama must date to some time in the 1950s. The clockwork motor in this one still works aok. Many earlier tin toys had seperate drivers pressed from their own bit of tin, that was then slotted into the cockpit. By the 50s many companies were cheapening things, like with this one, and incorporated a flattened driver behind the wheel.

Measures: 93mm long.

Colour: silver with blue flashes, wind-up clockwork motor.
