This listing is for a fully functional BATTERY OPERATED BALLOON VENDER as shown. It is in very good working order. Overall condition is average / good. When switch is turned on, the clown sways from side to side holding the balloons in his right hand. (The right hand can be locked into 3 different positions.) The clown rings the bell with his left hand quite vigorously while his mouth opens and closes as if he were selling balloons. This is a "MADE IN JAPAN" toy listed in Don Hultzman'...s book, COLLECTOR'S GUIDE TO BATTERY TOYS, copyright 2002, second edition. It is listed on page 25. It is a 1960's era toy made by the Y Co. It has a rarity of 5 on a scale to 10 being the rarest, and a value of $350.00 in C-10 condition. A few assorted balloons are included as shown. They are not original. Would make a nice addition to any, Circus or Carnival themed themed toy collection. Other 50's & 60's mint & mib battery op & wind-up toys listed in auction & my EBAY store.
