More info I just got from my wife's sister. The toy was more than likely copper. It was an old shed looking building with a model T or A type vehicle that went in and around it. She said that it had sharp edges and would cut you if you weren't careful. The whole thing was about the size of a piece of paper or w bit bigger. You are right, it is a shot in the dark. I've been to every antique shop, searched online, asked in forums.. you name it. so far, no luck. Oh, the item was her Great Grandmothers, not grandmothers. So its at the minimum 40-50 years old.
