About the Item

This large antique metal pull toy zeppelin was manufactured by the Murray Ohio manufacturing company during the 1930s in the Art Deco style and marked steelcraft. This company originated in Cleveland, Ohio in 1919 to manufacture metal parts for automobiles and diversified into the manufacturing of pedal cars and other pressed steel wheeled toys such as this toy zeppelin. This toy zeppelin is complete, retaining its original wheels, propellers and decals and its original 'played with' patina.
