Bass Drum Tin Windup by Chein Old Toy *SOLD*

Bass Drum tin windup by Chein for sale- Old toy

Our working drummer comes with original box and is a vibrant example from this lineup.  You tend to see snare drummers, but this bass drum is a tougher find.

Condition is original with bright tin lithography.  The box has been pressed and then wrapped with cellophane to preserve the look.

Wind up the toy and then one hand beats the drum while the other strikes the cymbals.
