LINEMAR

Telephone Switchboard Operator

1950s Japan

with electric drive 

In this condition, extremely rare!!

Description
- very rare Japanese-made battery machine from the 1950s
- beautifully colourful lithographed switchboard with female operator that moves the arms up and down 
  to make the phone connections
- the connection points on the board light up colourfully during this time
- different sounds can be heard
- after a while the operator stops and a phone call is simulated, then it starts to connect again 
- very high quality toy with beautiful litho and gorgeous colours, like new
- Figure made of tin up to the head with artificial hair also in new condition and complete, even the headset is still there 

Length approx. 20 cm

Condition:

- excellent condition, see pictures, they are part of the article description, 
- in my opinion, unplayed
- fantastically well-preserved paintwork as on the first day
- no rust detectable   
- Function tested and everything is okay, but due to age there is no guarantee.  
- Battery compartment clean without corrosion   

A MUST for all Tin Toy FANS

TOP TOP TOP.
