Yone Tin Litho Wind Up Rabbit Bunny Toy Japan Vintage Egg Shaped Body Wheels

A cheeky cartoon rabbit with buck teeth and whiskers grins from the front of this egg-shaped tin wind-up, which rolls along on two wheels. It is marked Yone, Made in Japan, the kind of lithographed tin wind-up toy that Japanese makers sent around the world in the mid-20th century. It would look right at home on a toy shelf, and it should appeal to collectors of tin toys and Yone animals.

Details

• The body is lithographed tin with a metal wind key, rubber or felt wheels, and a bent wire at the rear.
• Two matching slots sit on top by the eyes, and no ears are included.

Condition: Used, with a white ring-shaped scuff on the back, grime and old price-sticker residue on the belly, light rust on the key and top slots, and a few tiny paint flecks on the side. Sold as-is.

Please note: Two empty slots on top; wind-up action not tested.
