Description
German. 1924-1932. Bing toys were produced in Germany but most of them were sold abroad. The company was forced out of the export market as a result of companies who formed toy manufacturing associations to protect their own toy industries. Unfortunately, Bing was a small company and could not compete with the larger German toy companies. Bing toys are highly sought after particularly when they are in excellent condition such as this toy. Marked, "Bing", on front grille. Stamped, "Continental", on tires. Marked, "BW Made in Germany", on underside.
Condition
Excellent condition. Shows age-related wear. Clockwork windup motor tested and working.
Medium
Tinplate.
Provenance
From the Phil Barnett Collection.
