Vintage Tinplate + Plastic Friction Highway Patrol Helicopter,
Nomura Toys, Japan, VGiB
A nice large vintage tinplate and plastic friction drive Police Highway
Patrol Helicopter Toy with black and white tinplate cockpit, clear
plastic screen and blue plastic pilot figure, black, silver and blue
tinplate rear engine with lithographed detail, red plastic fuel tanks,
white plastic rear frame and fold-down tail section with rear
rotor, and red and yellow rotors, made by the Nomura
Toys (T.N.) Co. in Japan in the original box. It was
probably made in the 1950’s or 60’s.
In very good to excellent working condition, the tinplate is in
excellent condition with minor playwear and marks and the
friction drive works well, moving the helicopter forward
and turning the main rotor. The plastic parts are also in
very good condition with just some fatigue to the rear
fold-down section (looks to have had a repair).
The helicopter measures an impressive 21 inches long by 5 wide
and 7 inches tall with a rotor width of around 17 inches. It is
marked with “Highway Patrol” just behind the red tanks and
“P.D.” on the sides of the cockpit.
Marked with the Nomura Toys “T.N.” trade mark and “Made
in Japan” on the left side (viewed from front) of the
engine housing, just behind the cockpit.
Comes in a very good original box, also fully marked
and with nice images, just some damage to the ends.
