Maserati Blue Desk Racer Model

At the height of popularity during the 1930s when Maserati were dominating on track, technically skilled enthusiasts loved to race the legendary B.B. Korn tether cars or ‘spindizzies’ on their own circular tracks reaching incredible speeds and creating quite a spectacle. This blue Desk Racer model is a beautiful recreation of those cars.

The founder of the B.B. Korn Manufacturing Company, Barney Korn, produced several tether car models that now, as vintage antiques, achieve astounding sums at auction. For the children of his clients Mr. Korn designed and built toy versions as a giveaway to enthuse children and get them to participate in motoring activities. The blue Desk Racer model similar to the 1930s Maseratis of the period, with detailed dash, red seat, wire wheels, rubber tyres, and a hand-polished aluminium body.

This blue Desk Racer model measures 31 x 13 x 9cm
