J.H. Hoefler Tinplate Windup Toys
Back in the mid-1940s, not long after the fall of Nazi Germany, toy production sprang up from the ashes of defeat in an area famous for tinplate toy production from the late 1800s to early 1900s. It should be noted that, unlike the United States which diverted all metal to the war effort after Pearl Harbor, Germany continued to make toys during most of the war years.
This toy train transfer table was part of a wind-up set produced in what was then known as the U.S. Zone of Germany during the late 1940s. The track wasn't scaled to a particular gauge, and the mechanically wound locomotive measured only about 3-inches long. It's a curiosity these days and finding the rest of the set would be difficult. But they do pop up online every once in a while.
