Modern Toys Japan (Masudaya) Fork Lift Truck S-1002, a tinplate model from Japan dating to 1956–1960, powered by a battery remote control, supplied with its original box and in good condition.
Description from the seller
Beautiful and rare vintage Fork Lift Truck S-1002 - Battery Powered Remote Control from the renowned Modern Toys Japan (Trade Mark M).
A stunning piece of Japanese tin toy from the 1950s, finished in a striking, glossy red with yellow details. This model is highly sought after by collectors of tin toys and industrial toys.
Condition & Details:
The forklift is in surprisingly good condition for its age. The paint is deeply glossy with only minimal signs of wear. All lithography is razor-sharp, the transparent engine covers are intact and free of cracks.
The lifting mechanism with the original chain and forks is complete and moves manually smoothly.
• Complete: forklift + original wired remote control + original cardboard box with a beautiful airport illustration. • Tech: Battery-tested - currently does not respond. Probably a contact or motor that's seized after 70 years / light corrosion. For the handy collector easy to service, or perfect as a high-end display piece.
• Note: 1 wheel hub is missing on the right rear wheel (clearly visible in the photos). This is a known issue with this model.
• Box: The original box is complete and very decorative with the iconic print of airplane, airport and driver. Has light signs of wear,
A must-have for the serious collector of Modern Toys / Masudaya, vintage tin, or forklift toys.
