Schuco Mercedes Benz 1936 Race-car / Studio I 1050 Construction-kit

Model Description
Manufactured pre-war ca. in the 1930ties, accordingly with wind-up bolt on the left side, in color red with darkred seat, nice painting with several signs of playing, overall in pretty condition, all functions are tested and working perfect, marked on the base plate "Made in Germany" in lightyellow letters. The square winding bolt on the model is unfortunately only partially present, but the intact clockwork can be wound up without any problems via the friction wheel and the steering has relatively much play due to its age. The tyres are hardened, but run very round with the exception of the four spare tyres. The original box is in good condition due to its age, the rubber band has been replaced. Extremely rare to find in this completeness.

Things to know about the Schuco Studio I 1050 Race-car
The Schuco Studio I 1050 is the most frequently built Schuco model ever. It first entered the Schuco collection before the Second World War in 1936 and is still produced almost unchanged today. It was originally advertised by Schuco as "The steerable driving school car for practising the art of driving" and in addition to ready-assembled models, the Studio I 1050 is also available as a construction-kit.

It has a simple clockwork mechanism for fast forward travel, which can be wound up either via the included winding crank or via the friction wheel mounted under the car. The direction of travel can be controlled via the steering wheel and the rims can be easily removed via the central lock screwed on with a wing nut.
