  • 1950s Ichiko Space Patrol battery operated car is in wonderful, working condition! This extremely rare toy has been in my personal collection since 2010, when I received it incomplete and in pieces. It was a very expensive purchase then, simply because the battery-operated version is SO RARE. An excellent quality Space Patrol, with its original box, sold on eBay in 2013 for nearly $32,000. Such a fun toy! When the switch is engaged, the rear drive wheel spins with clicking sound, the radar dish rotates, the Astronaut driver waves his 'No. 1' flag and the space gun on the cowl sweeps back and forth while the gun barrel flashes! The front wheels are poseable so that the car can proceed straight or drive in a circle. The tightest circle is approximately 4 feet. Please watch the You Tube video of the RARE toy in action! The toy has seen extensive playwear and the litho shows age. There has been a little touch up with ink to some of the litho.  The toy was missing parts that Uncle fabricated to complete, such as the radar dish, 'No.1' flag and the flashing gun and mount. The drive mechanism is quite sound and strong. There was considerable wear to the bottom of the car, so it was chemically stripped and repainted and polished. The toy still sports the original windshield and Astronaut head. One new earmuff was fabricated and installed. I'm listing this toy at a very high price due to its rarity. I will entertain reasonable offers, and this is available locally as well as being available for international shipping.

Batteries power the Linemar Atomic Submarine and it has a wired remote control. Please watch the attached YouTube video of this marvel in action! It's a perfectly working toy with 5 of its 6 original missiles and an awesome original box! An excellent collectible for that Navy man in your life, or if you're just a fan of military toys! This is a very near-mint original toy with an excellent original box! No disappointments!
  • The Sonsco Ichido Gypsy Fortune Teller is a battery operated toy produced by Ichida, Japan. A coin placed in the coin slot activates the toy. She has several movements, including a fortune card drops from her sleeve. This is an absolutely stunning, original toy. Unfortunately, it doesn't have all of the original cards as there were 10 each for boys and girls.  Specifically, there are 3 original boy cards and 2 original girl cards. Gypsy's robes are nearly factory-perfect with the original red lace trim and pearl necklace, and she also has her original red cloth and crystal ball. The gypsy, as shown in the You Tube video, operates perfectly and dispenses the fortune cards in perfect order. In fact, when I found this toy, she sprang to life after a light dusting and a little cleaning of the battery contacts! Probably the nicest I've owned in my 40+ years of collecting! Additionally, if you have an original box. this is the perfect complement to complete your collectible! Zero disappointments here!
