Tin Greyhound Bus Toy For Sale- Japanese Friction

Description

-What an iconic and glossy beauty!  This Friction-Powered tin bus comes in excellent exterior condition with original box. The paint is pristine and the bottom of the tin toy looks like it is near new.
Size is around 12″ and the chrome is bright, lithograph tin glossy.
Unfortunately, the friction power spins when pulled back, but the bus does not move.  Hopefully a simple repair.
Box condition is complete, but rough--see photos.
The toy has been in storage and unused from the 1960’s, when vehicle lines were still more streamlined and designs a bit more primitive.  The second story really looks beautiful and sculptural with windows suddenly sloping up hill for luggage below.
