Curious if anyone has seen one of these Japanese Toys

**chaosrob** · 07-12-2017 04:44 PM

I believe this predates WW2 but I am not 100% positive as I cannot find another one for comp.

This toy winds and the head, arm and "machine gun" move. The body is celluloid I believe, the gun metal and the base wood.

I am not a huge toy collector but have been wanting to find information on this one for awhile. Any info is appreciated, TIA.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Thanks for the help guys, solved by someone on another forum. This is by far the closest one I have seen

Machine gun is different but probably the same maker.

If I have this right Modern Toy of Japan icon

made there stuff in the occupied area of China in 1932 called Manchukuo (Manchuria). Toys built there often carried the name: MANCHUKUO TOY CO. C1930'S.
Gets complicated, but see similar styles to yours but no match found.

Some links:

I've read many were destroyed by Japan needing the scrap metal. After occupation allied troops also destroyed them, feeling they were offensive.

Yours must be rare, IMO
