    Description

    This is a 1950 Nomura made in Japan tin litho battery operated farm truck with driver.  Tested and works
    Measures 9 1/2 inches long and 7 inches tall.
    Good news: Battery storage area is clean with no corrosion. I put in fresh D batteries to test it.  While I was taking photos, I had the power switch turned on and saw the red lights in the engine light up and flicker and the radiator fan turned.  The truck started running and moving.  When it hit a firm object (the leg of a table) the boys head would turn and the vehicle would move in that new direction.
    Rubber tires are all in very nice condition with no cracks or brittleness.
    Paint colors are vivid.
    Damage:
    The boy's head is detached but fits on easily and the head turns back and forth  when the on lever is switched.
    The head and face have paint rubbed off.
    A few small paint nicks on fenders and bed of truck.
    Clear plastic on engine needs a good cleaning.
    Windshield frame where it attaches to body of truck is damaged on right drivers side.
    I am not a tin toy collector but am trying to describe any damage and attributes as accurately as I can. Please contact me with any questions you may have,
