Thank you for that Jan, I appreciate the correction as there are too many incorrect dates floating around the internet, which is where I found the one I posted.

What a wonderful and extremely rare addition to your collection Nick, congratulations!!!
Eventhough i am no Bing expert by far, i would have to slightly disagree with your dating of the 10/2102, and lean stronger towards other sources, which dates these between late 1920s and early 1930´s.
Here it is, cropped from the 1930 catalogue, so at the very least, it would not be gone by 1929:

That (those) look SUPERB!!!
Seems somewhere I have the "wreck" of a Bing Monna that looks about like that, though in nowhere near that nice of a condition!
I'd guess 1910-1920ish.
Rainer has helped me ID it as a Monna #13675/1 c1904-12 and through some google searching I have found the drive model to be a #10/2102 c1920-29, listed as both “Kraftfahrer” and “Kraftwagenführer” which translate to “driver”
Jeezo Nick, you are way too quick for me. I see you captured my first edition post here before I did a minor edit, to bring it to where I was trying to go ... no more than moments later!
Not getting anything by you it seems ......... ;c)

@Nick,
Congratulations, a very elegant Bing setup, and the condition is exquisite!

Very nice engine and rare toy! And the kids seem to enjoy playing with these fine toys!
Bing produced a "Monna" and a "Vanna" engine. I wonder if the names were inspired by a play, written by Maurice Maeterlinck in 1902, which must have been quite fashionable in those days...

I'd guess pre-war 1910ish for the engine.
Likely sometime in the 1920s for the flat-fixer, postwar anyway maybe.

Great looking pieces of history. Love the colors on both. Thanks for sharing these treasures.

Any help with model number and date of both is greatly appreciated 😉
