Lot 107

Georges Carette & Co. Open Drive Limousine. As featured in the 1911 Carette catalogue and described as a 'Landaulette' numbered 3358/39, this transfer-printed tin plate model is 13-inches long and 7½-inches high. Propelled by a spring motor, this is the better-quality example, possessing a brake lever operating the rear wheels and a reverse lever on the driver's side. In good general condition with red coachwork and gilt highlights, the 'Mors' style radiator is nickel-plated. Some remedial work to the running boards, wheels and steering column. A rare, well-crafted toy.
£1000 - £1500

“Congratulations on what looked like a very successful sale ! You never mentioned that you did the auctioneering as well ... talk about doing the whole job ... see it into the building, find out what it is, decide if it’s for the Fine Art sale or the General Sale, lot it and describe it accordingly, and then sell it ... that really does count as seeing the job through from start to finish! Whilst the job isn’t over yet, it really is a case of so far, so good ... some items have sold for sums that exceeded our expectations, with one item in particular fetching a truly remarkable sum, so we’re very happy indeed... we’ve noted how accurate the guide prices are ... and how gratifying it is when the bidding goes sailing past the guide ! I found the whole week to be both gripping entertainment and pleasingly rewarding financially. Please accept my sincerest congratulations for a job well done, and we’ll look forward to the October and November Sales with bated breath ...”
