Plank
#500 Vulkan Steam Engine Toy Train w/ Coal Car
This is a rare and desirable 19th century toy.
Ernst Plank was a
leading German toy maker in the late 19th century and their steam toys /
engines are
very desirable and well executed. The overall condition is very nice with just minor losses to the paint finish, and a few small dents in the roof area over the cab. All of the parts are original, and it appears all the engine parts and clockwork like drive mechanism are present and operable. Note in one of the pics the fuel tank and burner assembly removed from the bottom. The Plank emblem is on the front, and the Vulkan tag is on the side. The small Coal Car is marked #500 which I assume is the model #.

Lionel
No. 403 E Toy Passenger Train
This standard track size Lionel model toy train set was
Lionel's top of the line in its day in the mid to late 20's until they offered the
larger #409 set. There are three cars, Baggage/ Parlor, Pullman, and Observation,
plus the double ended Engine. All are in their original boxes.
Everything you see in the pics (look at all)
is included. There are two transformers and enough track to make a circle
under the Christmas tree which is where this family set it up every year.
Lionel put out the most famous and most popular line of model
trains and produced a quality product. This set is in used but pretty nice
condition. It has not been used or seen the light of day in years. The
main drive wheels on the engine are warped and cracked, and the owners ordered new
ones but never got around to installing them. The new ones have held up well
and can be seen in the pic. The color is a teal blue / green. There is some
scratching and scuff losses but overall it looks pretty good. I believe this to
be an unusual color.

Cast
Iron Flat Bed Toy Train w/ Winch
This
is nice.
I am not sure who made it or what its proper name might be. It is all cast iron and the
original paint is 90% or better. It is about 9" long and a bit over 2" wide.
The winch is operable.

Meyer
& Frank Tin Delivery Trucks
These are pretty nice. This was one of the largest General
line Merchandise distributors in its day in the Pacific Northwest, and they were
very famous in that area. They did not have Wal-Mart to compete with, but
I guess the high cost of American labor back in the old days was just to much for
them and they folded up like most old timers.

Schuco Post WWII German Toy Vehicles
The toys and other products produced by Germany and Japan immediately after the war are a thing of wonder considering the devastation both experienced during WWII. It makes one wonder, if they are thinking, what's up when compared to what our new friends the Iraqis are sending us today 6 plus years after we declared that war over or mission accomplished there. We saved the oil fields, control them, and now pay 2-3 times what we did before the war for that oil. Is that the way it is supposed to work? That is not what they originally told us. It is certainly not the work of those they are calling Socialists. I don't even want to think about what the Afghans supply us now or will have to offer later. Hmmmm...........
