I am pleased to offer a rare Toonerville Trolley toy by Dent.
This piece measures 3-1/2″ X 3-1/4″ and is of slush mold hand painted lead. Dates to the 1920’s.
Toonerville Folks was a popular newspaper cartoon feature by Fontaine Fox, which had a long run from 1908 to 1955. It began in 1908 in the Chicago Post and by 1913 it was syndicated nationally by the Wheeler Syndicate.
The single-panel gag cartoon was a daily look at Toonerville, situated in what are now called the suburbs. Central to the strip was the rickety little trolley called the “Toonerville Trolley” driven in a frenzy by the grizzly old Skipper.
Rare item displays very well and would make a fine addition to any collection.

This piece is in great condition considering age. Does shows small spots of loss and chips to the finish but is still nice and bright with much of the original paint still present. There is a hole through the center of the top stack but no other cracks or damage to the molding. All original wheels present and roll well.
