Vintage Wind Up Tin Toy "Monkey Riding A Horse" by Haji Co., Japan, Circa 1958

Offered by: Clive Devenish Antiques

Description
Made in Tokyo, Japan by The Haji Company (see image for mark/logo), this all tin vintage wind up toy, circa 1958, depicts a "Monkey Riding A Horse". It is in all original paint and excellent condition, in bright, crisp colors of brown, red, pinmk, blue and flesh tones. The toy works great; simply wind up the attached key on the right side of the horse; place on the floor and watch the "child like" monkey bump and ride the horse (see video accompanying the listing).
This version of THIS monkey on THIS horse is very scarce. It is frequently seen with a boy on this and a different horse.

Dimensions: 6" long x 5 1/2" high x 2 1/4" wide
