Vintage 1950's Tomiyama Firebird Speedway Friction Racer in Original Box - Rare

Description

Up for auction is a Vintage 1950's Tomiyama Firebird Speedway Friction Racer in Original Box.  The race is about 14.5" long.  This toy is relatively rare, especially in this condition.  The racer is in near mint condition.  It has the spare inflatable tire and the air pump.  It is missing the wrench and tube that goes from pump to tire.  Box has some shelfware, but otherwise in very good condition.  Most boxes for this model are in very bad shape.  Friction motor sounds good based on hand spinning back wheels, but never tested completely.
This has been in my collection for years and just letting go to another collector as I am downsizing.  It is as I purchased it.  I have never inflated the tires.  The wrench is easy to replace and I expect a similar rubber tube can be used to inflate tires if desired.  I just displayed the toy.
