Early Chinese Tin Lithographed Universe Car ME 089 Battery-Op Space Toy with Box *SOLD*

Early Chinese Universe Car ME 089 Battery-Op Space Toy with Box

We have an early Chinese “Universe Car” in striking new old stock condition to offer.  It is quite an under-appreciated toy, as not much has been written about it.  The Chinese makers, likely in the late 1950’s, chose to emulate Japanese toy making.   This one features a multi-color light up dome and has a driving/flying action by battery.

The battery compartment is clean or new as shown.  The bottom of the toy has factory touch-up, per normal for these early Chinese toys.  Paint and chrome are original.

Condition is very good to excellent as shown with an impressive lithography design of a space man on the hood.  Chrome is quite a bit like automobile chrome and there is quite a bit of bright work.

Our toy works well and tested fine, and comes with the original box. As of now, the box does not currently come with the white cardboard insert that goes around the dome shown in the pictures. The car is approximately 10 1/4″ L.
