Vintage MARX Tin Lithograph RIDE'EM COWBOY Wind-up Toy (WORKING CONDITION)

Vintage MARX Tin Lithograph RIDE'EM COWBOY Wind-up Toy (WORKING CONDITION). We are pleased to offer this Vintage MARX Tin Lithograph RIDE'EM COWBOY WIND-UP TOY in WORKING CONDITION. We see no damage to the celluloid figure, and the tin lithograph horse is also in exceptionally nice condition. THIS UNIT HAS BEEN TESTED AND OPERATES AS DESIGNED. Condition: Very Good to Excellent. Measures: 6 1/2" L x 6 1/2" H x 4 1/2 W. (across widest part of lariat). This particular toy is an older version MARX clockwork toy of a tin lithograph horse and a celluloid cowboy rider. The production period of this toy was short lived, and today it is a desirable collectors item.

The innovative concept of this "jumping cowboy rider on horseback" was later applied to other toys and used by Marx for about 30 years. This toy predates the "Lone Ranger" and "Cowboy Rider" toys by more than 10 years, and these later version toys only utilized the vibratory movement of the horses rear legs, with the rider being stationary. In contrast, the RIDE'EM COWBOY toy has an up and down type movement of all four legs, causing it to gallop and jump at the same time. The rider is also raised and lowered while the lariat spins around. Structurally speaking, it may appear a little less elegant than the later vibrating toys, however the actions are quite realistic.
