  • Old Fashioned Double Decker Bus by Modern Toys The Old Fashioned Double Decker Bus by Modern Toys of Japan is a wonderful, large size battery operated tin bus that is new in its original box. The toy is complete with box inserts. It operates on 2 'D' cell batteries (not included) and features bump n go action. This is a beautiful mint condition toy fresh from my personal collection and is sure to please! The Double Decker Bus is a wonderful example of the standard mode of transportation of the early 20th century. The Double Decker Bus was and still is commonly used for tourism in America as well as Europe. This toy bus has many features such as mystery action, sounding horn and engine sound  and funny shaking action as it rolls on its journey. This marvelous toy has never been out of the box and never seen a battery since the factory. As good as these toys get!
  • Absolutely stunning 1950's Marx Wells Fargo / Concord Stage Coach model kit in pristine, 100% completely MINT condition. This is an extremely rare kit with fabulous box art and tremendous detail. If you are familiar with the newer Lindberg versions of this same stage coach kit, you know how large and impressive the final display is. Comes complete with four horse team, all of the necessary tack and chain material as well as five scale figures (approx. 4 1/2" tall on average) The kit, when assembled is over 24" long.
  • This is a wonderful Alps 'Auto Doggie' Mustang convertible battery operated  car, made in Japan. The toy is a 'Bump N' Go multi directional mover. Auto Doggie is in excellent working condition with the original driver and a replacement dog. (The other dog ran away . . .) When the toy is in play, the car moves about the room and the doggie barks and makes a jumping movement in the passenger seat. It's a large toy measuring 14" long and 5" wide. It is in excellent working condition and is always in a glass cabinet on display in my collection.
  • Comet Monorail Battery Operated Toy, TN Nomura Japan is in excellent working condition. This toy comes complete with metal track and the original box. The Monorail car operates on 'D' cell batteries. It features forward and reverse action and has red and green lights which correspond with the movement. The track layout is approximately 20" by 30". The Monorail car is suspended by the metal uprights and wire track that snap together to form the layout. The litho is bright and crisp and shows very light playwear overall. This toy was produced in the 1950's in Japan due in part to the popularity of the Disneyland Theme Park Monorail in California. It can be played with or used as an attractive display piece.
  • A wonderful Marusan, Japan Sunbeam Motorcycle with Sidecar battery-operated toy in excellent, fully working condition. The Sunbeam operates with two 'D' cell batteries inserted into the sidecar. The sidecar switch operates the headlight, red license plate, taillight and the front running light. Upon battery insertion and without operating the light switch, power is instantly available to the electric motor to power the bike. The bike operates by switch movement on the gas tank. First gear is slow speed, second gear for higher speed and neutral or 'off'. The front fork is steerable and can be positioned for straight or circular motoring direction. These were very sensitive and fragile toys and most became shelf displays due to mishandling. This toy has been thoroughly checked and adjusted for superior function. Truly a delight and a must have for motorcycle collectors and enthusiasts alike!
  • This is a Bandai 1959 Cadillac tin friction car in excellent original condition.  The toy has very minor scuffing (possibly box rub) and is virtually un-played with. The tire treads are crisp and the friction is very strong. This toy has been in my personal collection for several years. This would be a beautiful addition to any tin toy car collectors fleet.
