‘ANTIQUE CAR’ Tin Toy, Showa Japan

Tinplate battery operated toy, circa 1960s.

Wonderful toy, approx 25 cm long, in excellent condition and complete. When batteries are in place the car headlights illuminate but there are no other actions. This may be due to the variation between vintage and modern style batteries or it may need attention (such toys are usually easy to make functional due to the relatively simple internal mechanics).

Battery compartment in excellent condition. Box lid exhibits slight age wear, complete with rare internal box packing. All original.
