Vtg. Yoshiya (KO) space whale ship pioneer PX-3 wind up, Japan

The sale is for a vtg. The mouth will open and close, red flaps will sway as he moves forward with a wavy up/down action. He is in good condition with age related issues. The top lever is down when he is supposed to work. Up when, I assume he doesn't. When I wind key, he wants to move with every crank of the key rotation. He moves whether lever is up or down; cant explain. He does move like he's supposed to other than what I stated otherwise. He really doesn't spark but hard to tell as there is something red inside that vibrates when moving. The red flap on right has a slight bend or dents and light scratch marks.

Less on inside flap but dull in color; maybe made that way. Left flap, fine scratches on outside. Inner flap better but dull like the other side.

Eyes are lightly scratched and scratch circles within the eyes from google eyes rolling around; probably normal. Left side; a small sliver moon shape; may be a gouge and some other scratches nearby that are small. Can be miniscule paint loss on black in front part in metal and blue paint above.

Can be scuffing on the underside. Wheels have slight wear on tread but not horrible.

Plastic tips on whale's metal prongs edge are intact. The window that shows sparks is dirty and has fine scratchy. I have had for over 30 years and kept in storage once I bought it. See all pics for they are part of condition.

May have other issues not mentioned but mentioned most significant. Measures 9" long, 7.5" wide X 4.
