Omni-What is a slush mold car?Does it look like it has a seam going down the middle of the car?This one looks like it's a two piece die-cast mold,but when you look at the underside of it,it's actually 1 piece.

Slush Mold - Old toys from the 1920s and 1930s such as Barclay and Manoil were manufactured by pouring lead alloy into a mold and simply sloshing it around to coat the inside of the mold, then pouring out the excess before it hardens into a solid mass. For obvious reasons, the process was discontinued for toy manufacturing because of the poisonous lead content.

Just tidying up some blasts from the past (including some very ancient ones), largely for the benefit of anyone searching the site for information.

Looks to be an ‘Auburn Speedster No. 58’ made in 1931 by the Barclay Manufacturing Company of New Jersey:

The Auburn Automobile company was in Auburn, Indiana from 1900 to 1937, best known for their fast, good-locking and expensive ‘Speedster’ models.
