Vintage 1950s Original Cragstan Ford Model T Friction Truck Pressed Steel JAPAN

Description: Estate Find. Nice-looking vintage Pressed Steel tin litho toy made by Cragstan toy company in Japan. Friction Drive works. Very nice straight piece all the way across with bright, strong colors throughout. All tabs are present as pictured. Some areas of wear and nice overall piece. Rear tires are a little wobbly because the one tab on each tire is not completely locked in and will need to be popped back on flat, and the wheels should stop wobbling. When I say wobbling, I mean a little side to side action and nothing dramatic. I just don't have the time and the correct type of tool to pop up the tab and lay down flat outside the tires if you look at the pictures you will see the tabs are present and not broken off but will need some small adjustments or just simply leave it exactly the way it is because it actually works great but I'm very picky when it comes to tin toys as I'm a collector myself. I also believe the friction drive would work much better if the 2 tabs that hold the friction drive motor were tighter it would definitely be helpful as I noticed a little play with the tabs. Again I absolutely think it's a great looking and working example but I try to point out the things that are very hard to notice from the pictures though it really doesn't effect the toy as it looks very clean and a very nice example of this particular toy. I take all 24 pictures so you can get a good look at what you will receive however if you would like some additional pictures or any information regarding this piece please feel free to contact me at and I will get back to you ASAP . Important side note: I USUALLY GO TO THE POST OFFICE WITHIN 48HRS AFTER THE WINNING BID IS COMPLETED UNLESS THE AUCTION ENDS ON A FRIDAY OR PAYMENT IS MADE WITHIN FRIDAY BETWEEN SUNDAY THEN I GO ON MONDAY .
