A battery-operated tin toy bulldozer by Nomura Toy Ltd (TN), Japan, dating to the 1950s–1960s. The toy is finished in bright red with elaborate lithographed decoration throughout, depicting a futuristic engine compartment and a sci-fi control panel with green and red jewelled light lenses on the bonnet top. The rear has a yellow-and-black striped "Tools" box and a "No.15" badge on the side of the seat. A driver figure sits in the open cab, gripping two upright control levers. The driver is detachable and the underside of the seat is marked with a "T.N.", "Made in Japan", and Nomura's hallmark. The toy is operated via a lever on the driver's left side; when engaged, the vehicle drives and the lights go on. Sometimes it works and sometimes not, likely due to minor corrosion on the battery terminal contacts. The battery compartment door shows rust on its interior face; the compartment itself is free of rust. The toy has light scratches, but overall has crisp colours and looks very nice.
