It was warm enough to get out for the first time this year. Hit the park not expecting to find anything. Went a little off the beaten path and dug this toy Zeppelin car manufactured by Manoil NY. Pretty happy with it :)

Very cool. Designed for Manoil by Walter Baetz in 1935. Here’s the original patent:

Yours has “N.Y.” after the word “Manoil” in their logo and I understand they changed that to “WAVERLY” when the company moved location in 1937/8.
