A charming and highly collectible example of early 20th‑century German tin toys, this Lehmann “Naughty Boy” windup features a father and his mischievous sailor‑suited son riding in an open automobile. Marked “Made in Germany” and measuring just under 5 inches in length, the toy captures a humorous scene: the ill‑behaved child attempting to seize the steering wheel, causing the car’s delightfully erratic movement when wound.
This piece is exceptionally well‑preserved for its age, retaining vibrant lithography with minimal paint loss and only the light factory touch‑ups commonly seen on original Lehmann toys. Fully functional and operating smoothly, it stands out as a rare find in such immaculate working condition.
