A wonderfully worn pair of postwar Japanese tin lithograph toy cars, with tiny illustrated passengers and officers printed directly into the windows. Made from pressed tin with friction-powered mechanisms and original metal bumpers. The taxi matches a known T.354 Japanese example from the 1950s.
Both show the kind of wear you’d expect from decades of play, including scratches, dents, surface wear and some bending to the bumpers.
For decorative use only and not intended as children’s toys.Please look through all photos carefully before purchasing. Vintage and antique pieces will often show signs of age, wear and previous life. These quirks are part of what makes them special. All items are sold as-is and all sales are final.
