Item Description
7" long by 9.5" tall tin litho toy with built-in key. By Unique Art, 1950s. Rodeo Joe figure is nicely detailed including neckerchief, boots, gun and holster and a large tin hat. Illustrations on jeep include bucking bronc, pots and pans attached to the back and a steer head on the grille. Text on jeep includes "Git Along Lil Doggie/Drye Gulch Ellmers For Sheriff." Toy works well and travels around in an erratic fashion as the jeep pops up on its rear wheels. Cowboy figure also moves up and down as his large hat tips back and forth. Wheels have wear on bottom, hood has small area where paint has worn down to white base paint. Hat has small paint nicks and scratches as well as a few pinpoint spots of oxidation. Back of head and small area on front of gas tank where seat image is lithoed have worn down to bare metal due to actions of the hat and the cowboy. Fine.
