The cabin cruiser form is exactly right for the era: optimistic, nautical, the kind of boat that belonged on a lake in summer with a family aboard and nowhere particular to be. The lithographed details give it the graphic quality that makes vintage tin toys so collectible — color and line applied directly to metal, durable enough to survive sixty years and still look like itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e+ WHY WE CHOSE IT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause a 1960s Ohio Art tin wind-up cabin cruiser with intact lithography and a functional mechanism is a more complete vintage toy find than most. Because Ohio Art is a name that vintage toy collectors recognize. Because mid-century American toy manufacturing at its most cheerful deserves to be appreciated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e+ ABOUT THIS PIECE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne available.
