You are bidding on a second used 1952 American Flyer K335 Union Pacific Northern Engine and Coal Car. These are from my collection of American Flyers that were gifts from my Uncle Arthur who managed FAO Schwarz in Manhattan, NYC, and he purchased them there. I received these as Christmas gifts from my uncle when I was just 2 years old. I had them since then stored in my child hood red toy. They have not been operated since I was a kid but stored in a dry location for the last 60 years. They sell on line for over $450.00. Bid now and often. Don't let this piece of American Flyer history slip through your fingers. Good luck bidding. FAO Schwarz is the name of an upscale toy retailer in New York City . It is the oldest operating toy retailer in North America , and is often considered as the New York equivalent of Hamleys in London . AmericanFlyer had its start in 1907 when the Edmonds-Metzel Manufacturing Company, a Chicago-based hardware manufacturing company, began making tinplate wind-up spring driven trains. The line grew in popularity and in 1910 the company changed its name to the American Flyer Manufacturing Company. In 1909 A.C. Gilbert along with John Petrie, a mechanical handyman, created the Mysto Manufacturing Company. Together they created boxed "Magic Tricks" and the Mysto Magic Sets. Erector Sets were added to the product read more
