A vintage very hard to find 1960s Tin plate tin TOY Talking Robot battery and friction operated made in Japan by Yonezawa
The robot is in Near mint to mint condition in my opinion his more on the mint side only obvious mark is a rub mark on the back of his head as shown its very minor other then that he looks almost unused
it seems to be hardly used all the original red colour paint on the tin body is complete in excellent condition I can’t see obvious any wear or chips stunning Litho no wear on the litho
The robot comes with outer and inner original box
I put battery’s and pressed the yellow button the robot didn’t talk this is the battery part of the robot only for talking , the robots friction works very strongly you push the robot and his friction wheels underneath move very smoothly and fast he walks
The robot’s clear face cover has no damage or cracks and the yellow button on the back is complete and original unbroken
His entire body is tin plate except his white ears are plastic , even his silver arms , hat cap , mouth, nose and all the silver around the face as well as his red head top is all tin plate as well
Please watch video I have added on how he operates and the condition of the robot
Battery compartment is clean as a whistle with NO rust or corrosion
This robot is made in Japan he’s around 29 cm in height .
Original Box:
The box is in ok to good condition it’s complete , note there is tape repairs , currently there is tears edge wear edge tears wear , rubs creases old tape that was there before and a few tears that can be repaired easily with craft glue
The art work has very strong vibrant colours comes with original bottom brown box which is complete and in very good condition
Also the bottom brown box has some clear contact tape on each end of the box
The brown bottom box has a small hole
Comes with rare original cardboard insert that is in very good condition , it’s factory made for the robot to sit in
Overall it’s a amazing beautiful Robot to add to the collection and would definitely be a keeper Please don’t hesitate to contact me via email or mobile for any inquiries.
