Awesome vintage Japanese tin litho space toy, the United States Space Capsule made by SH (known asHorikawa). A fantastic looking piece of retro space toy design, with tons of detailing , great colors, and a great overall silhouette. I love that the pilot inside has a face that is very obviously made of twoseparate slightly mis-matched halves... so creepy and wholly appropriate to the times. I also love the plastic screen that the astronaut is looking at as he pilots the spacecapsule and fires his gun... it\'s a view into space and a view into the \"future\"!
This is a battery operated toy, which I believe to be in non-working order. If you are a tinkerer you might be able to get it up and running as allthe parts are still there.Size: 9\" long, 7\" high
If you enjoy this kind of wonderful vintage toy, please keep your eyes on this account for more of the same in the next few weeks. Due to an urgent and timely financial need, I am having to sell this VERY sweet collection that belonged to my father. Thanks!
