Description



This toy was made in 1954 by Solido of France. It is from the "BABY" series and is about 3 1/2 inches long. It is diecast metal and nicely detailed for a toy! The paint is original but has many chips from play. It has a hole in one side for the separate key. Baby Solido models were sold with and without wind up motors. The latter version being more expensive. This a wind up version in good working order. The key is included even though it is not pictured. I would not recommend winding this toy too much, as the motor have been known to pop the roof off the toy when the spring motor is relaxing. It is best to enjoy it as a wonderfully rare and well made shelf piece.
