1940's VINTAGE WIND-UP MARX TIN "JUMPIN JEEP" TOY, JUMPIN JEHOSAFAT

This toy jeep was made shortly after World War 2. Kids loved to wind this up with the key attached to the bottom. It pranced and danced across many floors in its time. Even 65 years later the mechanism still works fine as you can see in the video. Thanks for looking.
Trivia: The reason why golf balls are dimpled is due to the fact that years ago golfers found that their old dented balls travelled farther than their new balls. Eureka!!


Did you know: Ruzica Church, located within Kalemegdan Fortress in Belgrade, Serbia, has chandeliers made from bullets, swords and cannons. Soldiers made them during World War 1. I guess you could call this "trench art".
