WILL SHIP INTERNATIONALLY
This sale is for a vintage tin lithographed battery operated GINO the Neapolitan Balloon Blower with ORIGINAL box, insert and instructions made in Japan by Rosko. This toy is in fantastic condition withbrilliantcolors, and all original parts! The toy is made from lithographed tin, hard plastic and cloth! When activated the bell rings, original bubble wand, bubble tray - slight oxidation to stand and pants. The bubble in this photo is a plastic ball - not included.
He correctly does all five actions. His eyes open and close, His left hand moves up and down ringing his bell, He lowers his wand into the bubble solution tray, He then raises the wand above the air tank, Air is blown out of the tank to create bubbles, (balloons). Process is then repeated. Very cute. Battery compartment is clean as are the connections.
When tested he needed to have his legs pushed to the left towards the tank to operate - could be fixed but he does WORK and is very clean overall!
The ORIGINAL box has nice graphic on lid with some rubs, stains and wear from age as shown - box bottom also original.
Approx. Measurements ofGino:
Height= 10 ½” (ground to top)
