This is a lovely German wind up toy Wehrmacht car with a towed searchlight from the WWII period, made by O\u0026amp;M Haußer from tinplate steel. They made a whole variety of these well made trucks, and this example has a lovely lithograph camouflage paint job, which is very well retained. The car with the searchlight attached measures 15 3\/4 x 3 ½ x 4 1\/2, and features 8 wheels, with a searchlight mounted to the towed vehicle. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with many German toys of the time, it actually is functional, with a real flashlight bulb in the searchlight, which would be powered by a battery in the compartment underneath. There is no battery left underneath, and the wiring appears gone. There is a small box to the front of the searchlight which retains most of the wiring, but we are not sure if it could be made functional again. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe back wheels on the car are attached to some type of winding mechanism, wound up using a square rod on the lower left side of the truck. We unfortunately do not have the winding key, nor do we have the proper battery to test the searchlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes ready for display.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44015744909381,"sku":"ONAC25SD1010","price":495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/ONAC25SD1010__01.jpg?v=1763672810","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-german-pre-wwii-o-m-hausser-tinplate-litho-wehrmacht-car-with-towed-searchlight-model-toy-with-adjustable-light-crew","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
