'TN Nomura'
Japanese pressed tin lithographed military toy friction vehicle. There's only some slight surface oxidation on the pressed tin hubcaps of the hard rubber wheels. All hubcaps are however present. The attached tin, slanted circular radar assembly, toward what's the front of the truck, with the four person cab being located in the back, is without damage and is fixed in position. There appears to be perhaps a missing thumb tab or turn screw that fits on top of the exposed wire, coming out of the middle of the circular radar assembly. The lithographed images of the helmeted US Army personnel inside the truck's cab, as well as the yellow, white and black lithographed, decorated sides, are all in superb condition, with almost no paint loss. The corners of the military truck are largely without oxidation, dings or dents. It is marked on one of the doors
'U. S. A. 053270.'
This appears to be a vintage Japanese tin military toy that was always kept inside. In very well preserved overall vintage condition. Very Cool.
CONDITION:
Good to Very Good overall vintage condition.
