(Item: 3757J)

Late 1960's Wilesco Toy Steam Engine w/ Box

This toy steam engine was manufactured in West Germany by Wilesco. It is model D-5, with its original box. The original owner purchased it on sale at Woolworth's for $1.77 in the late 1960's! The steam engine has only been operated once to see if it worked properly....it does. It is made of pressed steel, with a copper furnace and nickel plated boiler. The dimensions of the engine are: 8" long, 5" wide, and 8 3/8" tall to the top of the chimney. The box is in excellent condition, with a little edge wear and a hole on top where the steam valve came through, probably when stored. Nice graphics on the box, complete with the Woolworth labels! This is one of four toy steam engines of various makes and ages that are currently at our store....a nice selection!
