I had a Charlie Weaver Bartender and Mr. Magoo’s Car when I was a kid. Too busy to answer this, OK, but what might they go for today? I saw a Charlie the other day for $75.00.

DGM,
I have a T.N. Co Mystery Car and one of the red lights on one of the back fenders does not blink on & off anymore, do you know where I can get a replacement 3 vt. red bulb ?
Thank you,
David

Can you send a picture of this toy to me at texascv@gmail.com. That would better help me to identify it. Thanks, David

Rick,
Could not find the exact box name, but did find a toy with the name Electro-Train Transcontinental made in the 1950′s (Mfg by M Co.), 3-pieces, 20-1/2″ long. Sorry no picture was available. The MIB price would be in the $175-190 range. Found this information in my O’Brien’s Collecting Toys 12th Ed. reference book. May be a good comparison. Thanks, David
