‘ROYAL CUB’ boxed Tin Toy, S&E Japan

Tinplate battery operated toy, circa 1960s.

Wonderful toy, approx 20m cm long, in very good condition and complete. When batteries are in place the bear’s eyes and the flower in the pram 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 is in excellent condition. Box lid exhibits age wear with tares, see images. All original.
