Description:

Hard to find pull toy racer. It has a partial label on the front. Established as a partnership in 1866 by H. H. Abbe, E. C. Barton, E. G. Cone and A. H. Conklin The Gong Bell Manufacturing Company began producing bells and toys in the Town of East Hampton, Connecticut. Today The Gong Bell Mfg. antique toys and bells are sought after by collectors around the world as the company was not in existence past the 1960's.
