Description: This tin fire truck was made by Nomura Toys (TN) in Japan in the 1950's. The truck is about 8" long overall and features a driver and another fireman riding on the left side and holding a flag. The truck can be propelled by its friction motor, which also makes a siren-like sound and causes the front headlight/searchlight to oscillate back and forth. These friction actions work well. In addition, a D size battery (not included) can be installed in the compartment underneath, which then illuminates the headlight/searchlight when the switch on the right side is clicked forward. That works too, and is the only purpose of the battery. In addition, the truck's ladder can be raised, extended, and swiveled manually. The litho on this piece is in extraordinarily good condition, with just a few small nicks and scuffs. Only the bright work (front grille and hubcaps) show signs of age and wear. The original box is also included. The box has several tears in the top and also in its flaps, but is still very serviceable and displayable. Overall, this will make a very fine addition to your collection.
