Also from the same sale, tiny tin cars. The dime shows how small the black on is.
These have simple stamped disc wheels. The yellow one actually looks kind of like a Marmon Wasp. Any idea on age? I am guessing 30's but it's just a guess.
The black car is from some kind of wind-up speedway racetrack toy. These date back as far as the 1920s but are still made today as reproductions. Here's an old one:
