VINTAGE NOS TIPPCO HISTORY OF THE PORSCHE 356 W/FRICTION TIN MODEL.

Description: HERE I AM OFFERING SOMETHING WHICH I HAVE YET TO SEE BEING OFFERED HERE ON/IN EBAY ..... AND FOR GOOD REASON!! THIS IS A WESTERN GERMANY MADE PACKAGE WHICH, ACCORDING TO MY GERMAN CONTACT, THIS WAS A PROTOTYPE ITEM WHICH WAS PRESENTED TO PAG (PORSCHE, GERMANY) FOR THEIR PROMOTIONAL CONSIDERATIONS. IT IS/WAS PUT TOGETHER BY HUBER PACKAGING, ONCE BASED OUT OF WESTERN GERMANY, IN AN EFFORT TO SHOW THE POWERS WHICH REIGN SUPREME AT PAG (PORSCHE, GERMANY) EXACTLY WHAT THEY COULD OFFER THEM IN THE WAY OF PRODUCING QUALITY PREMIUM AND PROMOTIONAL GOODS/ITEMS. MY SOURCE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THE ULTIMATE OUTCOME WAS OF THIS PROPOSAL, BUT, JUDGING BY THE RARITY OF THIS ITEM, I WOULD GUESS THAT IT WAS A NO-GO FOR WHAT-EVER REASON. HERE IS A RARE CHANCE TO ACQUIRE SOME PORSCHE HISTORY THAT NO ONE ELSE HAS .... OR IN ALL LIKELYHOOD, WILL NEVER HAVE!! TIPP AND COMPANY, AKA TIPPCO WAS A TOY COMPANY ONCE BASED OUT OF WESTERN GERMANY. THEY MADE HIGH QUALITY MODELS OUT OF TIN. THESE MODELS WERE EITHER MADE AS CLOCKWORK (MECHANICAL), GRAVITY (PUSH) OR AS THIS TIN PORSCHE 356 IS .... FRICTION DRIVEN. THIS TIPPCO PORSCHE 356 WHICH IS INCLUDED, IS AS PRETTY AS IT WAS WHEN IT WAS PRODUCED ALL THOSE DECADES AGO IN WESTERN GERMANY. THERE IS NOT A SINGLE ISSUE WITH THIS TIN FRICTION DRIVEN 356. THE ENCLOSED RIVETED OVAL PICTORIAL IS UNIQUE ALL BY IT'S SELF. IT HAS EIGHT (8) HIGH GLOSSED PRINTED SHEETS WHICH IS PRINTED ON BOTH SIDES WHICH STARTS OFF WITH IN GERMAN "PORSCHE 356 .... THE LEGEND" AND RUNS THROUGH IT'S HISTORY FROM 1948 ~ 1965 AND FEATURES SOME OF THE VEHICLES FEATURES AND SOME OF THE KEY BOOKS PERTAINING TO THIS PORSCHE 356 MODEL. THE FLIP SIDE OF THIS DIE-CUT OVAL PICTORIAL HAS A COUPLE OF PICTURES OF THIS TIPPCO RED PORSCHE 356 AND SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THIS MODEL 356 FROM PORSCHE. THESE TWO (2) ITEMS ABOVE ARE UNIQUE, BUT WHEN YOU ADD THE ORIGINAL TIN LITHOGRAPHY OVAL CONTAINER (MADE BY HUBER CONTAINER) WHICH FEATURES THE PORSCHE 356 CABRIOLET IN SILVER ON IT'S LID YOU HAVE SOMETHING SPECIAL. IN ADDITION TO THE BEAUTIFUL AND COLORFUL TIN LITHOGRAPHY ON IT'S LID, YOU HAVE IN BLACK RED AND WHITE "356 PORSCHE" ON BOTH SIDES ALSO DONE IN A HIGH QUALITY TIN LITHOGRAPHY. THIS TIN LITHOGRAPHY IS KEY AS THE GRAPHICS, PICTURE AND COLORS WILL NEVER FADE, PEAL OFF OR BLEED THROUGH AS STICKERS AND DECALS OFTEN DO IN TIME. I HAVE HAD THIS IN MY COLLECTION OF "ALL THINGS PORSCHE" FOR MORE THEN A FEW DECADES NOW AND THOUGHT IT TIME TO OFFER IT UP TO THE EBAY WORLD. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS TIN CONTAINER DOES HAVE A FEW VERY SHALLOW DINGS ON IT. THIS IS HOW I RECEIVED THIS FROM GERMANY. THESE ARE NOT BAD AND VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE, BUT, I DO FEEL COMPELLED TO POINT THIS OUT. I WAS GOING TO PUT THIS IN MY OTHER STORE HERE ON EBAY WHICH HAS PRETTY MUCH "ALL THINGS PORSCHE" IN IT. THIS OTHER STORE WHICH I SELL UNDER IS "9112.BROTHER" AND HAS OVER 300 PORSCHE AND "PORSCHE DESIGN" LISTINGS. I WILL BE ADDING TO THIS STORE A BUNCH OF VINTAGE PORSCHE MODELS FROM ALL SORTS MANUFACTURES. SOME OF WHICH ARE BATTERY OPERATED, SOME CLOCKWORK AND OTHERS ARE SIMPLY GRAVITY DRIVEN (PUSHED AROUND). SOME HAVE RF (RADIO FREQUENCY) REMOTES AND OTHERS ARE TETHERED THESE MODELS WILL BE ADDED ON IN MID JANUARY.... I DO HAVE A FEW CURRENTLY LISTED HERE IN THIS EBAY STORE .... AND AS NOTED ABOVE, THERE ARE SO MANY MORE TO COME! NO VIDEO OF THIS HUBER TIN PACKAGE WILL BE OFFERED AS I FEEL ONE IS NOT NEEDED. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME HERE IN EBAY VIA THEIR MESSAGING SERVICE. ONCE YOUR MESSAGE IS READ, I WILL RESPOND IN KIND. THIS RARE AND UNUSUAL PIECE OF PORSCHE HISTORY WILL BE SENT TO YOU DOMESTICALLY VIA THE USPS GROUND, IN ORDER TO HELP YOU SAVE ON POSTAGE OVER THE PRIORITY RATE. AS WITH ALL OF MY PACKAGES, THIS WILL BE WELL PROTECTED FOR IT'S TRAVEL TO IT'S NEW HOME. I PURCHASE ALL OF MY SHIPPING LABELS THROUGH EBAY (IF POSSIBLE). THIS WAY THE TRACKING NUMBER IS AUTOMATICALLY PLACED INTO YOUR EBAY SALES RECORD.
