Vintage Tin Wind Up Hopping Donkey w/ Vinyl Head Rider Made in Japan Working

I am pleased to offer this Vintage Tin Wind Up Hopping Donkey with a Vinyl Head Rider!  This hilarious little wind up is covered in cloth “fur” and features a fixed wind up key on the left side.  The rider looks like a crazed little elf, and is made from a tin body with a vinyl head.  The leg of the rider is marked “Made in Japan”.

This vintage hopping donkey is in fair condition for its age, showing mild staining to the cloth with a few small tears in the fabric. One side of the donkey is missing most of the “fur” but has the cloth base.  The rider has some mild scratching and a tear to his hat.  The toy was acquired from a smoking environment, and has a smoke odor.  Wind up mechanism is in strong working condition, and when wound the donkey hops quickly while moving around.

Measures approx. 5″ L x 1-7/8″ W x 6-1/4″ H

Thank you for viewing!
