Реставрация старой игрушки

Restoration of a very old and rusted horse racing game from the GeeWIZ brand. The “Gee Wiz“ horse racing game is a vintage tinplate toy from England, originally manufactured in the late 1920s to 1930s. It was a mechanical racing game designed for fun and betting, popular among children and families. The game consists of six colorful tin horses with jockeys positioned on an angled racetrack. A flywheel mechanism powered by pulling a string propels steel balls up the track. These balls repeatedly hit the horses, pushing them forward until one reaches the finish line and raises the victory flag. Key Details: ➖Manufacturer: Made in England, specific maker likely linked to British tin toy companies of the era. ➖Patents: UK Patent No. 275,682 (filed in 1926) describes the unique propulsion mechanism involving a rotating axle with nubs that propel steel balls. ➖Dimensions: Approximately 38.5 cm in length, 16 cm in width, and 7 cm in height.
