    Default Ski lift Tin toy - collectible?

    Is it worth placing the following on a BOB antique auction or would this be considered junk? The box is in a pretty bad condition, but the ski-lift toy is in a good comestic condition and it still works. It was bought for my father in the early fifties and was eventually passed onto me. You hook up the string and place the ski-lift onto the string, it ascends and descends, pulled up and down by a small motor conceled in the main part.

    Not sure if it's antique but it's definitely vintage and collectible so, yes, I would list it under Antiques and Collectibles.

    Fabulous 50's. It will do well on the Wednesday. Examples are few and far between.
    Good luck
