A fantastic candidate for an antique toy restorer or collector. Manufactured by Girard Model Works in the mid-1930s, this pressed tin wind-up "climbing" crawler tractor features its original gray and red enamel factory finish and an integrated front crank handle.
Mechanically Tested & Working: Unlike most 90-year-old clockwork toys, the internal spring motor on this tractor is fully functional and runs strongly! The side engagement lever works perfectly to lock and release the motor gears. (Message us to see a video of it running!)
- Please Note Missing Parts: This tractor is currently missing its original looping rubber wheel tracks/treads and the drop-in tin driver figure. The wheels feature the original deep factory guide grooves, and the chassis is structurally straight, making it an incredibly easy project to complete with reproduction parts.
- Manufacturer: Girard Model Works (Girard, PA)
- Era: Circa 1930s
- Condition: Good antique condition. Motor works beautifully. Body shows authentic play-wear, light scratches, and minor surface oxidation consistent with its age.
