1951 Marusan Cadillac tin toy car friction Japan (12 inches/30cm)
1951 Marusan Cadillac tin toy car friction. In Canada we have letters and numbers. Here for your consideration is a very nice original tin Caddy by the famous. This toy can be seen on page 33 of the Big Book of Toy Cars. This toy is all original except I believe the window plastic is a replacement front and rear. The front looks to be pulling away at the corners. Im not sure, but Ill say the bottom was removed for this. Still, the tabs are tight and secure, as is the minty chassis.
The original black paint on the complete car is awesome. The roof has some nasty scratches, yet still remains shiny, and only takes away from the car being close to mint. The body has that mirror black finish only the best toys had, much like a concours car in real life. All plating is excellent to mint.
See the pics and judge for yourself. The friction works fine and only the drive wheel shows wear.The base is like new. On close inspection the trunk lids has a couple tiny lines of thread rust.
Hardly worth mentioning, but I look for perfection, so assume others do as well. The headlights are original, but amber, that give it a more unique look than most of these examples. The interior is to die for, all original, and super cool, realistic steering wheel, guages and all. It is also a repop box for the battery op, and this is a friction model. It will be packed up well. You just pay for the stamp.This is looking for a new home, not a World tour. Or I will re-list unless other arrangements have been made with me. I will work with you. I want everyone to be happy.
