The original paper wrapping paper is still resting in the box bottom (see photos). The box bottom is free of splits or tears.

There is a separately applied paper label that carries the image of an impressive red coupe with the word "STUDEBAKER" printed in red above the car. The label is marked Occupied Japan and also features the logo of the Sinsei toy company being the letters "SKK" within a diamond (refer to photos).
A great addition to a collection of Occupied Japan tin windup toys or as an accent to display of vintage Studebaker memorabilia!
