Santa has lost an arm, but absolutely refuses to miss his route.
This vintage Made in Japan wind-up tricycle toy features a molded Santa figure on a brightly lithographed tin vehicle. The graphics are cheerful, the paint has clearly lived a life, and the mechanism still winds and sends Santa rolling under his own power. One arm is missing, which is impossible to overlook but somehow makes his determination even more impressive.
A fun survivor for collectors of postwar Japanese tin toys, vintage Christmas decor or mechanically inclined Santas.
Condition: Well-loved vintage condition with substantial paint and lithograph wear. One of Santa's arms is missing. Wind-up mechanism was tested and the toy winds and rolls under its own power. Sold as a collectible rather than a modern children's toy.
