AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Extremely rare Nomura (T.N. - Nomura Toyo, Japan) 1200 Road Roller from the 1950s. Sought-after collector item, in this complete and working condition almost impossible to find.

* 100% original Japanese tin toy, TN Nomura
* Battery operated - 2x D-cell (tested to work perfectly) (Batteries not included)
* Functions: moves forward/backward with bumper-action (auto-reverses on obstacle)
* Unique feature: motor with pulsating pistons and a red light - works perfectly, see photos
* Complete with original tin driver wearing a blue cap and red checkered blouse
* Front and rear brackets present, steering wheel and gear lever original
* Marked 1200 on the sides

In nice, fair used condition for a 70+ year old item. Light signs of wear and some surface rust in the usual spots (footplate near the driver, battery compartment lid) - part of a played-with piece. Battery compartment is reasonably neat. See all photos closely for an honest impression.

Ideal for the serious Nomura tin toy construction vehicle collector
