Disabled Combat Vet. Downsizing Vintage Japanese Tin Litho Astronaut Rocket Ship

Vibrant Litho Graphics: Explosive colors and detailed illustrations, including a bold red, white, and blue rocket body with yellow accents, starry motifs, and a prominent yellow "7" emblem. Adorable Astronaut Pilot: A cheerful baby-faced figure in a blue helmet and striped spacesuit. Original battery powered works but tends to be intermittent, it either goes and works fine or it won't go. I have had this a long time and played with it and believe the problem is the connection when the battery door is closed it may not complete the circuit unless closed securely. Authentic Vintage Craftsmanship: Made in Japan by a classic postwar toymaker (likely Masudaya, Modern Toys, or similar-markings faded but consistent with 1950s-1960s production). High-quality tin construction with embossed details, showing light patina from age but no major dents, rust, or missing parts.

Condition Notes: Excellent vintage playwear-bright colors with minor edge dings and faint scratches from gentle use. The astronaut's helmet has a tiny paint chip (barely noticeable), and the TV viewer glass is clear with no cracks. Thank you for visiting our listing!
