Vintage Japan Tin Litho Wind-Up Toy Working Moving Eyes Feet Arm
Vintage Made in Japan tin lithographed wind-up character toy. Colorful pressed-tin body with great period graphics, side wind-up key, moving eyes, moving arm action, and feet that go up and down when operated.
The toy is in working condition. When wound, the eyes move, the arm moves, and the feet go up and down. A very charming Japanese tin toy with strong display appeal.
Condition is good for age with expected paint wear, scuffs, scratches, small areas of oxidation, and general age-related wear. Please note that the toy is missing its hat/top piece, as shown in the photos. The hand is present.
A nice working vintage Japanese tin wind-up toy for collectors of tin litho toys, novelty wind-ups, and postwar Japanese mechanical toys.
Please review all photos carefully as they form part of the description.
