Description from the seller
Lot Title:
Yone / Yoneya - Battery-Operated Tin Toy "Cock-a-doodle-doo Rooster" - With Original Box - Japan - 1950s
Description:
Delightful and rare vintage battery-operated tin toy, produced in Japan during the 1950s by the renowned manufacturer Yone (Yoneya). This model, named "Cock-a-doodle-doo Rooster", features a charming rooster characterized by a splendid lithography with green, yellow, and black stripes.
The toy stands out for its exceptional preservation of mixed materials: it retains its original bright red felt comb and the green and orange fabric tail feathers, elements that are extremely rare to find intact and not worn by time. On the back there are the original small metal levers marked "START" and "STOP" for activating the mechanism.
The lot is complete with its original vintage cardboard box from the era, adorned with a splendid and colorful cartoon-style illustration that portrays the rooster in a farmyard with the inscription "Battery Operated Cock-a-doodle-doo Rooster - Made in Japan".

• Battery Compartment: The bottom plate and lower door are clean and well-preserved. The internal mechanism is intact.
• Box: Present and original. In very good overall solidity, it shows the natural and charming patina of time with slight signs of wear along the edges of the cardboard.
