Unknown Manufacturer, Probably Korean - Tin toy - Vintage Tin Toy Space Ship 207, Friction Driven With Spinning Rotor – Retro Toy - 1960-1970

Description: A highly desirable vintage tin toy “Space Ship 207", beautifully embodying the golden age of space-age toy design. This silver spaceship, marked “SPACE SHIP 207”, features a colourful spinning rotor, detailed cockpit illustration with a smiling astronaut under a clear dome canopy, and bright lithographed detailing that reflects the optimism of early space exploration. The body is crafted from tinplate with lithographed decorations, while the clear dome and propeller are made of plastic. The friction mechanism operates the toy’s movement and rotor spin (unverified for working condition). A remarkable example of postwar Japanese craftsmanship, produced by one of the leading tin toy manufacturers of the period (commonly Nomura or Yonezawa style). This piece is increasingly rare to find in such well-preserved condition and remains an outstanding display collectible for fans of mid-century sci-fi, robotics, and space toys. Details: Model: Space Ship 207 Material: Tinplate with lithograph / plastic dome and rotor Mechanism: Friction drive Dimensions: Approx. (please insert actual size if measured) Condition: Very good vintage condition – minor surface wear consistent with age, bright colors retained, clear dome intact A must-have for collectors of vintage Japanese tin toys and space memorabilia Popular Related Keywords Tin, Toy, Space, Ship, Robot, Japan, Vintage, 1960s, Retro, SciFi, Friction, Collectible, Lithograph, Astronaut, Spacecraft, Antique 【Important Information】 ・International customers are responsible for any import duties, taxes, and fees not included in the item price or shipping costs.
