Check out this little gem. The condition is outstanding for a toy like this. Wonder what this set will bring $$$$?

Paul, handsome set. Funny, the gear on the bottom of the engine looks like a bottle top of a bottle of Coke.

Nice set! Adolph Schumann or AS was a company that also produced tinplate train sets that ran on track (rather than floor toys, like this train). I'm not sure how long they lasted, but I believe they were still around in the 1930's.
