Item Description
Original illustrated cardboard box contains 4.25x5.5" long tin litho toy w/built-in key. Marx, ©1938 WDP. Front/back panels of box feature scene of Ferdinand w/pair of head-butting calves while two other panels feature Ferdinand portrait. Box is evenly aged and complete w/some creases to side panels and end flap tabs. Fine overall. Toy has original fabric flower attachment in mouth and separate die-cut tin litho bee on back. Rubber horns have hardened w/age as is typical and are complete. Toy works and when wound, rapidly spins its wire tail as it shakes about. A few scattered pinpoint paint marks but still a very bright and glossy example. Exc. Richard Calusdian Collection.
