Rare, Unusual Old Tin Litho Penny Toy Inclined Car (Funicular?) candle sticks allowing a couple of pieces

allowing a couple of pieces of grass to spring loose (see photos)

The lion has a small chip to one front paw and the higher a hairline split down one hind leg and both no longer have tails

which strikes me every time I look at it

Substantial in size and weight--and presence--it is carved dark green soapstone which was polished to a high shine

This specific image of profiled figure in feather headdress dates to 1919 of not earlier

Rare, Unusual Old Tin Litho Penny Toy Inclined Car (Funicular?) candle sticks allowing a couple of piecesI've done a fair amount of searching but can't find another old tin litho penny toy like this cool inclined one, which perhaps connected to a few others and a very steep ramp. I love it as its sits on a flat surface now, making everything around it feel askew. And hard to be the terrific color scheme, and very gangster looking driver at the helm! I can't find a mark on it and as I can't find another am not sure of the maker. Pre WWII I would guess.
