VINTAGE MARX WIND-UP "TRICKY TAXI" TOY, 1930-1940's

This terrific little Taxi was the pride and joy of young little boys 70 to 80 years ago. That means that the original owners are now in their eighties and nineties. Can you imagine? This toy car was unique for the simple reason being that it had a fifth wheel on the bottom that kept the car from driving off a tables edge. It was such a great invention that the kids almost thought it was magical. I still do.


Trivia: On average a giraffes tongue is 14 inches long.


Did You Know? German police were called to deal with a dead badger on the road near the town of Goslar ,only to find that the animal was not dead at all. He was drunk and had staggered into the middle of the road after eating overripe cherries that had fermented.
