Description

Up for auction is a vintage 1929 prewar Japan (foreign) all celluloid Popeye wind up toy in excellent working condition. As you wind it up with the key on his back, he moves around while bobbing his head up and down. It is marked “foreign” on his back as you can see in my photos but according to the celluloid character wind up toys book, it was made in Japan in 1929. He is approx. 7 1/4 inches tall. The wind up mechanism is very smooth and strong. It has the original pipe still intact in his mouth which is often missing. There is no major dents cracks or repairs except a tiny 1/4 inches dimple on his left foot toe as You can see in my photo. Otherwise he is flawless and paint is all original and very nice. Please look all my pictures for more details. The toy is fully tested but it is a 90+ years old antique therefor it is sold as is. Please contact me with any questions. If you are not happy with the purchase, please contact me within 48 hrs after you received it, I will be happy to refund the whole price as soon as I get my merchandise back to me.
