 HELLO, UP FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS AN EXCEPTIONAL HAND CARVED SOLID  FINE HARDWOOD OLD TIME AUTO JALOPY TYPE CAR.

I DO NOT COLLECT CARS BUT FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS FABULOUS WOOD SCULPTURE OR OLD TIME TOY CAR.

THE BOTTOM IS SIGNED BY THE ARTIST, I HAVE INCLUDED A LARGE PICTURE OF THE SIGNATURE.

THIS IS A WORK OF ART AND LOOKS TO BE  SORT OF LOCKED TOGETHER WITH LOTS OF DOWELS AND VERY SOLID AND HEAVY.  THE DETAILS ARE WONDERFUL RIGHT DOWN TO THE TEXTURED  FABRIC LOOK SEAT COVERS.  I FOUND A TOY COMPANY THAT MADE WOOD TOYS IN THE EARLY 1900'S"TILLICUM TOY'S" IN THE TACOMA ,WASHINGTON AREA THAT CLOSED IN 1932 WHICH MADE DURABLE TOY'S FROM NORTHWEST  HARD WOOD'S THAT MAY HAVE INSPIRED THE ARTIST.? THERE IS AN OLD PICTURE OF THE "JALOPY" AT THE TILLICUM  TOY'S THAT LOOKS MUCH LIKE THIS AND WAS REFERRED TO AS A "JALOPY".

THERE ARE THE NUMBERS 82390 WHICH MAY BE A DATE BUT I AM NOT SURE.

I CAN SEE AT LEAST 7 DIFFERENT WOOD GRAINS.  THE WHEELS WORK SO WELL A CHILD COULD PLAY WITH IT.

THERE IS A LOT OF DUST.  IT LOOKS TO BE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AND WAS USED ONLY FOR DISPLAY.

THE  CAR/JALOPY MEASURES  12  1/2 " BUMPER TO BUMPER,  A LITTLE OVER 5" WIDE AND 5 3/4 " TALL. IT IS A WORK OF ART AND VERY HEAVY.
