Lot Description:Kuramochi “Over the Hill” tin plate wind-up toy (which is also marked “Alps”)
The toy is constructed of painted tin and has a strong wind up motor which works well. The 3 orange ramp pieces detach so the whole toy can be placed in it’s box (which lacks the label). After the motor is wound the car (marked “C.K.” in a diamond) is placed on far end of the ramp and released - it rolls down the ramp till the 2 ears on the side of car connect with pins on arms attached to motor - arms then lift car to the upper ramp and release and car travels down upper ramp and the action repeats until the motor winds down. Box dimensions: 24.5 x 11 x 8.5cm. Made in Occupied Japan, circa 1948. -
