This is a 1960s Gino Neapolitan Balloon Blower, battery operated tin toy, made by Tomiyama (Rosko) of Japan. The toy was acquired from the estate of the original owner and it is in SUPER clean condition and comes in the original box with original instructions! The battery case is SUPER clean, too! The toy is 10" tall with a vinyl head, moveable eyes, tin body, hard vinyl forearms, lithographed tin body, plastic shoes, litho base and machine and plastic tray for the bubble solution. The left side panel and bottom side panel of the box lid is missing and t are tears and missing pieces on the left side of the lid. These old battery operated toys can be finicky and Gino is no exception - his motor seems to work, but we could only get him to raise his arms and open his eyes a couple of times. We could feel air coming from the machine, as it should, but we did not have bubble solution to test it. Gino's bell is missing from his left hand. $10.95 shipping via USPS Parcel Post.
