A delightful vintage, wind-up, lithographed tin toy made by MTU "modern toys" Korea. Modern Toys was one of the leading manufacturers of mechanical and battery-operated toys in the post-World War II era.
A cute little boy in a blue policeman's or postman's uniform pedals furiously in circles on his tricycle, ringing his bell all the while.
A wonderfully evocative little tin toy of the 1950s and 1960s.
The tricycle and bell are made of tin, while the child is made of molded plastic.
Everything still works regularly, although nowadays its main function is decorative and collectible.
It measures 11.5cm long, 11cm high and 7.5cm wide.
