Unique Art Manufacturing Company was an American toy company, founded in 1916, based in Newark, New Jersey that made inexpensive toys, including wind-up mechanical toys, out of lithographed tin. One of its early products was a wind-up toy featuring two tin boxers.
Unique Art's eventual fate is unclear but the company appears to have disappeared by 1952, with some evidence of Marx picking up the line.
Here we have a stunning example of a G.I. Joe Jouncing Jeep Tin Toy CR5-4065 Atomic Brakes Supersonic Speed, manufactured in 1944.
