VINTAGE 1950s-60s JAPAN TIN TOY SPACE ROCKET LAUNCHER TRUCK N.MINT w BOX
Price: US $321.00

This is a vintage tin toy rocket & truck set. The toy comes in the original box. The box reads: \"FRICTION POWERED MOTOR...ROCKET LAUNCHER With FRICTION ROCKET...MADE IN JAPAN...ROSKO TESTED # 3320.\" In addition, the box, rocket and truck all have a Japanese toy manufacturer\'s logo of the letters: \"S&E\" inside a diamond. This stands for: \"SUZUKI & EDWARDS.\" It is not dated, but was made in the late 1950\'s or early 1960\'s - give or take. I\'m not sure of this is a military weapon \"I.C.B.M.\" (\"Inter Continental Ballistic Missile\") or a space exploration rocket ship - either way, this is a really COOL old toy! The rocket has a rear wheel friction motor that still works and the truck has front wheel friction motor that is also still working. The toy is ALMOST like new and does not appear to have ever been played with. The truck has a few small paint nick, probably from contact with the rocket during shipping. The rubber wheels are like new and have all their tin hubs. (The box illustrations, on the lid and side, show the operator and control panel near the REAR of the truck bed, but he is attached near the CENTER. Both other examples, that I was able to find online, showed the figure near the center, like THIS, so I\'m confident that the figure is in the correct position, as originally made.) The rocket is in EXCELLENT to NEAR MINT condition. It does not appear to have been played with, but there are some small scratches near one of the tail fins. Otherwise, it is virtually like new. While the contents are beautiful, the box has some condition issues. The box top is FAIR, with a 4 inch split along the top edge. It also has some other small tears and splits. As you can see, the box top still displays very nicely. The plain brown box bottom is FAIR to POOR. It has some tears and splits as well. You\'ll be hard pressed to ever find a nicer example of this military or space toy. Box and contents are guaranteed to be old & original - made over 50 years ago - or your money back.
