Item Description
6.5" long with height of 3.5" nicely designed tin litho toy comes in original box. Yonezowa, Japan, 1950s. Moderate box wear/aging including lid which has some edge creases and a corner split. Underside of box bottom has 1.5" tear. Box complete with insert. VG. Tank has a pair of plastic covers, one over space man driver and the other over pistons. On left side is poseable spring antenna.

Toy has a number of factory paint touch-ups. Toy has some pinpoint scattered paint nicks but remains bright and glossy overall. VF.
