Kovap Czech Tin Toys

High-quality, heirloom tin toys of classic designs.

Kovap makes incredible tin toys – the quality and design are best compared only to collectible antiques.

The Tatras are replicas of two models of the famous Czech automobile. An icon of modernist design, the Tatra T87 was the first streamlined car ever produced (1937). Its successor, the Tatra 603, was a favorite of party officials during the postwar communist years. These adorable windup tin versions of the Tatras are made of printed heavy gauge tin with solid clockwork movement and a bump bar that prevents them from falling off a table’s edge. Each Tatra is 4” L x 2” W x 2” H and packaged in a box with original retro graphics. Wind up the Tatra with the key, set it down and it rumbles around delightfully with a sweet, distinct buzzing sound!
