I suggest researching about original paint value and desirability of the nature patina.

They could be like real cars and the whole "unrestored" thing.

If you wanted one of these things on he wall of your restaurant, bar or man-cave, would you want it all new looking?

I'm pretty sure other antique toys are worth more in their natural state.

I'm no Antiques Road Show expert, but I have watched it a few times.
