Tin lithographed toy gas pump 1930s Hubley / Arcade

Description

Back in the day, youngsters dressed up their Arcade and Hubley toy motorpools with add-ons such as this seven-inch mechanical  tin fuel pump.  "U.S. Gas / U.S. Gasoline Company."  You turned the crank on the side, and when the gauge within the horizontal upright reached  "5,"  the little window in the round top-piece registered "Full"  (see photos). Original unretouched paint, original fabric "hose," shows moderate play-wear but no breaks, bends, dents, or other distractions.   Seldom offered in this un-beat-up and operational condition. The "Full" sign can be sluggish to appear, but with the pointer at "5" and some gentle coaxing (sometimes upside-down), it will appear.  However, I always refrain from over-taxing the mechanics of these old toys -- set it and forget it is my recommendation.  No maker mark that I can detect.   Not mint,  but displays nicely.   Starting low to give everyone an even shot.   Paypal upon sale.  No international shipping.  Thank you.
