12 Old American Flyer S Gauge Freight & Passenger Cars For Restoration Or Parts

This is for a Lot of 12 Vintage AF American Flyer S Gauge Train Cars. All are believed to be S gauge. These trains are from a large house fire that consumed almost an entire collection. (We may be listing more in the coming days.) Some maybe restorable and some are only good for parts. We are including a very casual observation of each car, which may or not be complete or accurate, it is only our opinion. Included are the following items:

WE WANT TO SELL THESE CARS AS ONE LOT, NOT SEPARATELY.

For those that do not know, the following is a short history of the AF Company. American Flyer Trains were first manufactured by the American Flyer Manufacturing Co. in Chicago, IL. They manufactured Clock Work trains and later Wide Gauge and "O" Gauge Electric Trains. In the late 1930's the American Flyer line was bought by The A.C. Gilbert, Co. of New Haven Connecticut, headed by A.C. Gilbert the inventor of Erector sets and many other toys. Gilbert had already begun the manufacture of an HO line of trains. At the end of World War 2, Gilbert resumed train and toy production, but introduced new gauge, "S" Gauge. Scaled to 3/16 to the inch and running on two rail track. The A.C. Gilbert, Co., acquired by The Wrather, Corp., in the early 60's, was closed in 1966. The American Flyer name, along with all the tools and dies, were sold to the Lionel Corp. Gilbert also made the famous ERECTOR sets and many other toys. They made science sets, chemistry, physics and microscope sets. Some of the first items Gilbert made were their Mysto Magic Sets. Gilbert Polar Cub small electrical appliances were years ahead of their time.
