Up for auction is a nice 1950s tin wind up BLUE ZOOMER ROBOT, with NO BOX! This Blue Zoomer was made in Japan around the mid 1950s. He was one of the first vintage robots I purchased back in the early 1980s and placed him inside a glass case where he's been on display for over 35 years.
This BLUE ZOOMER ROBOT is about 8 inches tall and still works somewhat, but has a few issues. Zoomer does have some overall ...play wear as he is over 60 years old. I will try to point out all issues, but please look closely at all of the photos for details. First, he is all original. He still has his original hands and wrench, his original head antenna, ears, and original back antenna and backpack. He is still able to wind up and the wind up motor works well, but he no longer "sparks". He tries to walk, but only the left leg is able to move back and forth while the other leg stands still. The wheels on the bottom of the left leg seem okay, but the front and back wheels on the right leg seems to have "flattened" over the years, and can't really roll. There are some small "nicks" or slight "scratches" on his blueish body, mostly on the sides of his arms, or down below on his legs, with a "nick" of paint on the top left corner of his head, and a couple in the back of his head. The chrome finish on his center chest band has dulled over the years. There is a small "dent" on the front right side corner, but it is not that noticeable. On the inside of his left leg it says "Trade Mark TM Japan, c George C. Wagner".
Again, PLEASE LOOK CLOSELY AT ALL OF THE PHOTOS FOR DETAILS! He is all original and has no rust or corrosion that I can tell. No box! If you should have any questions, please ask BEFORE bidding! BLUE ZOOMER ROBOT comes from a smoke free home.
I am not a professional toy dealer, but to me this Blue Zoomer Robot is in fairly good shape for his age! If you should have any questions, please ask BEFORE bidding!
