    Description

    Up for auction is a rare J. Chein windup toy Hercules Ferris Wheel.  Almost all of the Hercules Ferris Wheels I have seen have people pictured on the sides of the gondolas.  This Ferris Wheel has Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Pluto pictured on the gondolas.  The wheel spins very nicely after being wound up.  It wobbles a bit and usually comes to rest in a slightly angled position, but I don't feel that detracts from its charm and rarity.  I purchased it about 15 to 20 years ago because it is like one I had back in 1956 that either got lost or broken.  This toy would make a wonderful addition to a vintage toy collection.  It will be shipped insured via USPS.  Please note that I only ship to the 48 contiguous United States.  Thanks for looking and happy bidding!
