KANTO DOLL old Japanese windup robot
plastic & tinplate
Item number: TOY28112247
Price: $75
This is a vintage robotic Japanese doll made by
Kanto Toys.....the body
and head are made of a hardish rubbery plastic, while the legs are made
of tin.
When you wind up the doll it walks...and stays
upright. The doll also has an on-off switch...all working properly. The
doll has feet/shoes which you typically find on Japanese tin toy
robots....I have one for sale elsewhere. I do not know how old the doll
is but I would guess it is from the 1950s or 1960s. On the back of the
doll it says: KANTO TOYS (in a circle), Made in Japan (it also says
this on back of head).
The doll appears to have glass eyes with detailed
irises and eyelashes. The doll has a few minor marks here and there
(consistent with age) but is generally in very good condition. The doll
is about 28 cms long.
