Description
Vintage Tinplate Clockwork Police Van, Wells.
England. 1930s or 40s. AF
 
A nice vintage tinplate clockwork Police Van
with dark blue body with great lithographic detail
 on the sides and rear, white tin balloon tyres and
built-in key, made by the Wells Co. of
England in the 1930’s or 40’s. 
 
The Police Van measures 6.75 inches long by 4 wide
and 3 inches tall, and is in fair to good condition
with surface rust and small dents in many places.
Two of the wheels have quite a bit of rust, as have
the mudguards, but it is on the surface and there
are no holes or damage to the tin. The clockwork
motor is temperamental, sometimes winding
but also slipping, so I think it needs
attention to work properly.
 
Marked on one side of the van with “Registered
Trade Mark Wells O’ London” and on the
other with “Made in England”. The rear
number plate is “W417”.
A nice vintage toy, not in great condition,
But one that is hard to find.
