TPS Roller Skating Bear Windup Tin Japanese Toy *SOLD*

TPS Roller Skating Bear Windup Tin from Japan

Circa 1958 under “Mechanical Happy Skater” box art.

 

Our Bear (that looks a bit mouse like) is a marvel of ingenuity and one of the best windups made.  We believe it the first incarnation of all of the skating toys, and as such, the toughest to find.

This toy raises and lowers its legs and perfectly balances while skating.  It does this with dependability which is the marvel.  It also uses a bit of skate bars to be sure of balance.

Condition of this toy is very good used with silk leggings still present with some discoloration.  The tin looks very good to excellent and the function is perfect.  It is a VERY Rare toy and for TPS and Japanese tin toy collectors at a high level.

This toy was a key item in the Lonnie Dossett collection.

Company– Toplay Co. Ltd., / T.P.S. – Japan.

This is the only example we have seen offered for sale.
