This is a retro tin toy. When you wind the spring and turn the switch ON, the central wings lift a car and carry it upwards. The car, once lifted, returns to its original position below. The wings then rotate clockwise, repeating the same action. It's a toy like that. It has a certain charm that modern toys lack, though I can't quite put it into words. It's an old item, so it has its share of scratches and dirt. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such imperfections.
