Antique Tin Toy Trolley Car

This antique tin toy trolley car, dating back to the late 19th century, showcases an early lithographed red finish with arched windows and hand-stenciled lettering that reads "Empire Line." The car rests on four spoked wheels with axles intact, and the undercarriage is stamped "PATD FEB 27 1875," confirming its age and authenticity. The roof is painted in a dark green tone with visible patina, and the car features open platforms at each end. Despite paint loss and surface wear consistent with its age, it remains a fine example of early American tin toy craftsmanship. Dimensions: 9.5" L x 4.25" W x 5.25" H
