shuco2.jpg (80943 bytes)

A rare Schuco Go-Kart wind-up toy from the 1950's (bottom says "made in Western Germany). This toy turned up revently in an internet auction, and is in near mint condition with only some minor nicks in the paint on the helmet. The original Schuco wind-up key is with it and the wind-up mechanism is still working fine including the steering and drive lock lever. A really nice old toy. 3-5/8" long X 2-3/8" high X2" wide.

Steve Tamer sent in these photos of a toy he bought at a swap meet (and subsequently sold). Fortunately, he captured these photos. This is a 1/10 scale "OK Cub-Kart" made by Herkimer Tool and Model Works in 1961. It has a live axle, neoprene slicks, and is powered by .024 engine. Before he found out what this toy was, Steve referred to it as the "Eddie Munster Spl".
