HUKI SINGLE-SPEED TIN CLOCKWORK COUPE HK-204 MADE IN US-ZONE OF GERMANY, WOKING!

Description

HERE I AM OFFERING UP ONE OF MY VINTAGE, TIN, CLOCKWORK DRIVEN, MADE IN THE US-ZONE OF GERMANY, TIN COUPES. THIS ONE IS MADE BY HUKI.
THIS TIN HUKI COUPE VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN WITH ME  SINCE MY DAD BROUGHT THIS HOME BACK IN THE LATE 1950'S. IN FACT, I HAVE A FEW VARIATIONS OF THIS MODEL CURRENTLY LISTED AT THIS TIME (UNLESS THESE HAVE SOLD OFF). THE ONE YOU WILL BE RECEIVING IS THE ONE PICTURED. THE OTHER EXAMPLES HAVE DIFFERENT MODEL NUMBERS DUE TO THEIR COLOR AND DESIGN. THESE ARE LISTED SEPARATELY.
THE SEDAN MEASURES OUT AT 3.5 INCHES X 1.75 INCHES (9 CM X 7CM). THIS IS HUKI MODEL NUMBER:
HK-204
AND IS A WHITE 2-DOOR
COUPE
.
THIS IS ONE OF THE OLDEST HUKI ITEMS THAT I HAVE IN MY COLLECTION. I HAVE FOND MEMORIES OF THIS COUPE AS A YOUNG CHILD AND AS I RECALL, THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST TOYS THAT MY DAD BROUGHT HOME FOR ME. I HAVE ONLY ONE (1) OF THESE HK-204'S.
WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE GROWING UP AS A FAMILY, AS OUR DAD WAS A REPRESENTATIVE OF A SMALL TOY DISTRIBUTOR OUT OF NEW YORK CITY FOR 4 DECADES +. THIS WAS ONE OF THE FIRST HOMECOMING GIFTS THAT I CAN RECALL RECEIVING FROM HIM.
HERE'S WHAT IT HAS TO OFFER:
ON THE BODY OF THIS COUPE YOU HAVE WHAT LOOKS LIKE A "HAMMERING" EFFECT ON THE ROOF. YOU HAVE NO CORROSION OR RUST FOUND ANYWHERE ON THIS SEDAN. THE TIRES ARE ALL MADE OF A HARD RUBBER AND YOU HAVE NO DRY ROT, FLAT SPOTS OR CRACKS ON ANY OF THEM. THE FRONT WHEELS ARE STEERABLE AND CONNECTED TO THE TINY TAB WHICH STICKS OUT FROM THE FRONT WHILE THE REAR WHEELS ARE CONNECTED TO THE STRONG TINY CLOCKWORK ENGINE.
ALL OF THE GRAPHICS ON THE BODY ARE DONE VIA TIN LITHOGRAPHY AND ARE STILL BRIGHT, SHINY AND CLEAN.
THE KEY SUPPLIED HERE IS THE ORIGINAL KEY TO THIS COUPE.
THE ORIGINAL BOX WAS TOTALLY DESTROYED IN A MASSIVE WATER GUN FIGHT WHICH OCCURRED IN THE EARLY 1970'S AS MY SIBLINGS TEAMED UP AGAINST ME (AS I AM THE YOUNGEST) AND ENDED UP CORNERING ME IN MY WALK IN CLOSET WHERE A LOT OF THESE VINTAGE ITEMS CURRENTLY LISTED HERE ON EBAY WERE STASHED. SOME OF THESE BOXES WERE TOTALLY DESTROYED WHILE OTHERS SURVIVED WITHOUT A MARK (OR WATER STAIN), MOST WERE USED AS MY LAST LINE OF DEFENSE AS I BUILT A WALL OUT OF THESE MODEL/TOY BOXES TO SURVIVE THE ONSLAUGHT!
YOU DO HAVE SOME PLAY WEAR AS THIS SHOULD BE EXPECTED FROM A TOY THAT WAS PLAYED WITH! BUT, AS WITH ALL TO MOST OF MY LISTINGS HERE, THIS TOY WAS WELL LOVED AND NEVER ABUSED IN ANY WAY. OUR DAD MADE IT VERY CLEAR THAT IF WE WERE EVER TO ABUSE ANY OF HIS GIFTS, THEY WOULD SIMPLY STOP COMING COMING HOME WITH HIM. MY ELDER BROTHER FOUND THIS OUT THE HARD WAY AS MY DAD ONCE MADE AN EXAMPLE OUT OF HIM FOR WELL OVER A YEAR AS HE TOSSED ONE OF HIS VEHICLES OUT OF A THIRD FLOOR WINDOW!
THIS WOULD BE A GREAT ADDITION TO ANYONE'S VINTAGE/ANTIQUE COLLECTION OF GERMAN, WESTERN GERMANY, US-ZONE OF GERMANY, TIN, CLOCKWORK, ETC COLLECTION!
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MY PICTURES AS THESE DO BECOME AN IMPORTANT SECTION OF THIS LISTING. WHAT YOU SEE HERE YOU WILL RECEIVE. THIS IS A ONE-OF-A-KIND LISTING/OFFERING BY ME! IF YOU'D LIKE SOME ADDITIONAL PICTURES, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK......
