trying to Help a friend. Large cast iron floor toy, super shape so I assume a repro?
Very cool large clockwork floor trolly. Sign boards flip over, mechanism seems to work, but needs attention.
early Nickel coaches, repro I assume, will be nice when cleaned.
Any help with makers would be appreciated.

Steve,
The trolley looks like a Converse (which Lionel used for their 300 Trolley). The Day Coach looks like an early 29 ca 1909-1912 w/ 3-rivet trucks (original or repro I don't know).

The brass and nickel day coach with the red wheels is by James Cohen, I have a set of them, he made them to go with his brass and nickel reproduction of the Lionel #7 locomotive. Here they are running, but the loco here is a Lionel Classics; my Cohen brass #7 isn't running:

Ron & David, thanks for the input. Any crystal ball ideas on values?

Steve - talk with Joe Mania about the Converse trolley - I'll bet he has both knowledge and probably parts. And yes - Lionel used the bodies for a powered trolley.
