Description

Antique 6.5" Cast Iron Coupe Car — Early Take-Apart Toy, c.1930

Charming early cast iron toy coupe, circa 1930s, showcasing the craftsmanship of America’s golden age of toy foundries. Measuring approximately 6.5 inches long, this solid metal model captures the elegance of an early two-door automobile, complete with louvered hood, defined fenders, and a rumble-seat style rear.

The piece features a flathead screw joining its upper and lower halves — a design seen in several early makers’ “take-apart” toys — and is stamped internally “1, 2 (1065)”, likely serving as casting or assembly numbers. Its naturally aged surface has developed a soft gray patina over time, emphasizing its industrial charm and authentic period character.

Condition:
Good overall condition, as shown. Displays age-consistent wear, oxidation, and surface roughness. Wheels rotate but are slightly stiff; flathead screw appears original. No visible maker’s mark. Natural patina throughout enhances its vintage appeal.

Dimensions:
6.5" L x 3" W x 3.25" H
Weight: 1 lb 9 oz
Stamped internally: “1, 2 (1065)”
