Early 1950's Alps (Japan) Tin-Litho Friction Drive "Street Trolley Car No. 45"

This tin toy depicts an early 1900's street trolley used in cities like San Francisco and New York.

The 9-1/4" long and 4-1/2" tall people mover is in very good condition. The friction drive works well, and a bell rings as the wheels turn. The litho has very little scratching and no noticeable paint loss or oxidation.

The turquoise top canopy shows some etched-in soiling in the paint due to age.

This is a nice piece to remind us of the ornate streetcars that were so easy to ride.
