Alps Merry Gondola Merry-go-round Tin Windup *SOLD*

Alps Merry Gondola Merry-go-round Tin Windup

Our windup by Alps is everything you would expect in a mid-century Japanese windup litho.  The toy has bright colors, added bonuses like balloons, exacting detail, then nice undulating movement as the gondolas rotate.

Condition on our toy is excellent with some minor scratches as shown.  Colors are extra vibrant.
