Marusan SAN Pull String Japanese Tin Lithographed “The Moon ZX18” Space Rocket Ship w/Sparker *SOLD*

Marusan SAN Pull String Japanese Tin Lithographed “The Moon ZX18” Space Rocket Ship w/Sparker 

This piece is a vintage pull-string, tin, lithographed “The Moon ZX18” space rocket ship that was manufactured by Marusan Co. Ltd. (SAN) of Japan.    

This working pull-string “The Moon ZX18” space rocket ship works by pulling the string and holding the hook at the top as the rocket ship’s gears pull it up the string.  We believe the hook to be original. A few things we did notice is that there appears to be touchups on the nose cone, one fin, and small ones on the body. From looking at other examples of this rocket ship, we see that the touchups to the tabs down the sides of the body are factory touchups. The sparker works intermittently as the rocket goes up the string. The rocket is marked, “SAN”, “MALUSAN TOYS”, and “KOSUSE”.  We are not sure why it is marked that way, if anyone has any further details we would love to hear from you. 

This Marusan SAN “The Moon ZX18” space rocket ship is in very good all original condition with no breaks, restorations, repairs, or touch ups (other than those noted above.) This piece shows the usual patina, dust, chips, scuffs, surface rust, scratches, and wear that are to be expected from age and display. It is approximately 8 ¾” L. We invite you to view the photos to further determine quality and condition.
