For your consideration is this wind-up tin toy Ford Coupe T 1917 car, made by Schuco in West Germany in the 1960s. In 1912, Heinrich Müller and Heinrich Schreyer founded Schuco, a renowned German toy manufacturer, in Nuremberg. Initially named "Schreyer & Co.," the company rebranded as "Schuco" in 1921, a name derived from "Schreyer und Company." Schuco gained global recognition in the 1920s with the introduction of the "Pick-Pick" bird, a wind-up toy that sold over 20 million units by the 1960s. The company continued to innovate, producing various mechanical toys such as wind-up mice and dancing figures. During the 1930s, Schuco expanded into toy vehicles, launching one of its first patented motor cars in 1935, establishing a lasting legacy in toy car production. After a pause during World War II, Schuco began production in the late 1940s, initially focusing on tin toys until moving to plastic and die-cast models in 1950s. Despite their success, Schuco experienced financial troubles and declared bankruptcy in 1976. The company went through various ownership changes before being purchased by the Simba Dickie Group in 1999. Schuco saw a resurrection under new management, and it continues to produce a wide range of die-cast scale models, including cars, aircraft, and commercial vehicles, while preserving its reputation for quality and creativity in the toy business.
