Item Description
4.5" long by 5" tall tin litho with celluloid figure. Occupied Japan by Tomiyama, 1940s. Toy works and when wound travels back and forth in an erratic fashion causing figure to also move in and out of his seat. Celluloid figure is a knock-off of popular comic character Dagwood with an extremely close resemblance. Lithography on jeep includes dancing dog on hood, picnic basket with wine bottle, horse and carrots on wheels, etc. Some paint rubs on car body components, few scratches on wheels. Paint wear most evident on floor of car and inside of hood which shows some darkening with age and slight spots of oxidation. Little wear on figure. Fine. Scarce.
