Tin. Japanese. Pre-war. Working. Lithographed tin and celluloid wind-up with crazy car action. This is a rare pre-war Japanese version of the Marx toy. It is almost an exact copy of the toy but the lithography has been completely changed and the character's head was made in celluloid rather than tin. Very attractive and very rare with an especially rare original box with one missing end flap. See ATW Spotlight article Aug. 2008 p. 53. Provenance: Collection of Carl Lobel.

Condition: (Excellent – Near Mint).

Item Dimensions: 7 - 1/4” L.
