Vintage Tinplate Battery Operated Automatic Take-Off & Landing Jet, T.N. Japan Click images to enlarge Description Vintage Tinplate Battery Operated Automatic Take-Off
& Landing Jet, TN. Japan
A rare tinplate battery operated Automatic Take-Off and Landing
Jet comprising the airport vehicle that accompanies Jet aircraft
to and from terminal buildings, with white and red body, silver detail
and nicely lithographed crew, together with a silver American Airlines
jet aircraft with blue and red detail, made by the Nomura Toys
Co. (T.N.) of Japan in the 1950s or 60s.
The toy is in very good working condition – the all-tinplate body
has a few marks in places and the battery box is clean and rust free.
The toy also works ok and has great actions - when switched on
the vehicle moves forward as the jet plane rises on the control
rod with flashing engines and then comes back down. The
vehicle then stops for a short time while the jet stands before
taking off again and the actions repeat. The only issue
is that the red plastic jet engines on one side of the
wing do not light – probably a poor connection.
Measures 19 inches long with the jet lowered by 10 wide
(wingspan of the jet) and 5 inches tall. It is marked with
the Nomura Toys “T.N.” trade mark and “Made
in Japan” on the rear of the white vehicle.
A great vintage tinplate battery toy that is hard
to find in any condition.
