GUEST: This toy was given to me back in the late '60s, early '70s, by a friend. I used to pick her up and drive her around because she didn't drive.
APPRAISER: Mm-hmm.
GUEST: And so every now and then, she'd give me a little token for doing that for her.
APPRAISER: Sort of for gas money?
GUEST: Yes, mm-hmm. So I've held it all these years...
APPRAISER: Mm-hmm.
GUEST: ...and I just love them, I think they're darling.
APPRAISER: Well, it's Henry and Henrietta Travelers. Do you know who Henry was?
GUEST: Uh, yeah, I know Henry and Henrietta. I remember the comic books.
APPRAISER: Yes.
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: And Henry had seldom spoke.
GUEST: Oh, I didn't realize that.
APPRAISER: Yeah, and I think that's one of the reasons he was so popular, because you didn't need to read a lot to enjoy them. And you seldom see Henrietta. I think she came along later in the comic books.
GUEST: Okay, okay.
APPRAISER: But this is a charming toy. It was made in Japan in the 1930s. The box is marked "C.K."
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: Which is some sort of an initial for the maker. But it's pretty hard to track down the actual names of some of these companies.
GUEST: Okay.
APPRAISER: It's made of celluloid, which is a very delicate material.
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: Very easily damaged. It is also a lithographed tin where the motor housing is, that little trunk.
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: And it's a remarkable survivor. Celluloid is flammable, it's fragile, it's very thin.
GUEST: Wow.
APPRAISER: But it was an amazing plastic kind of material that would retain great detail.
GUEST: Okay.
APPRAISER: I've always thought it one of the most charming toys. A little boy and girl holding hands, walking off with a suitcase to somewhere.
GUEST: Yeah.
GUEST AND APPRAISER: (both laughing)
APPRAISER: And they do travel.
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: We wind it up like this... (toy winding) Whoo!
GUEST: Whoa!
APPRAISER: There they go!
GUEST AND APPRAISER: (both laugh) They are traveling.
GUEST: Yeah.
APPRAISER: So you got this as a token for gas.
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: Well, this sells at auction for a minimum of $3,000.
GUEST: (gasps) Oh, my gosh, you're kidding. This little thing?
APPRAISER: This little thing.
GUEST: Oh... Oh, my gosh.
APPRAISER: So...
GUEST: That's unbelievable. I don't believe it.
APPRAISER: (laughs) Well, especially with the original box.
GUEST: Oh...
APPRAISER: Now, you had said something about the box being damaged.
GUEST: Yeah.
APPRAISER: If this is a toy that you love and you want to keep...
GUEST: Oh...
APPRAISER: ...it's worth $100 to have that, that box stabilized.
GUEST: Wow. Oh, geez, I'm going to cry. (laughs)
APPRAISER: (laughing)
GUEST: Ah! Oh, dear! I had no idea-- I don't believe it.
APPRAISER: (laughs)
GUEST: I just don't.
