(Yoshiya, 1950s) A very unusual tin toy made by Yoshiya (KO) of Japan. The colorful tin litho fish contains an internal friction mechanism with a crank on the bottom. When cranked, the toy travels in a random pattern. Measuring 7.5"x4.5" tall, the toy includes original green plastic fins and plastic dome eyes over marble pupils. The toy is in fine condition with light wear from age but still glossy. The original box is worn and faded with small tears throughout but still presents well.
