Haji Tin Lithographed Friction Sparking US-20710 “Observation Tank” Japanese Toy *SOLD*

 Haji Tin Lithographed Friction Sparking US-20710 “Observation Tank” Japanese Toy 

This is a rare, vintage, tin, lithographed, friction, sparking US-20710 “Observation Tank” that was manufactured by Haji Toys of Japan. 

This little tank is difficult to find in any form. When revved up this working tank travels forward. When it travels forward it is supposed to spark, the soldier is supposed to turn in the turret as an observation airplane circles overhead. Unfortunately, the flint wheel needs new flint, the soldier does not turn, and the observation plane is missing.  

All that said, piece is in great all original condition with no breaks, restorations, repairs, or touch-ups. This piece shows the usual patina, fading, dust, chips, scuffs, surface rust, scratches, missing accessories, and wear that are to be expected from age and play. This is approximately 5 ¼” L x 3 ¼” W. We invite you to view the photos to further determine quality and condition.
