Up for auction is a classic 'Durable Dan' Wind-Up Tractor by Durable Toy & Novelty Co. Measuring approximately 9 x 4 x 3 1/2 inches, this early American-made tin and pressed steel toy showcases significant paint loss and wear throughout the body and wheels, revealing the underlying metal. It features a heavy patina and surface oxidation that add to its nostalgic charm, dating back to its patent in 1914. The wind-up mechanism is a bit touchy, hinting that it may require careful handling for operation. Additionally, the steering wheel appears slightly bent. Despite these imperfections, the pressed steel structure remains intact, making it a great addition for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
