Made in Tokyo, Japan by The Haji Company (see image for mark/logo), this all tin vintage wind up toy, circa 1958, depicts a “Monkey Riding A Horse”. It is in all original paint and excellent condition, in bright, crisp colors of brown, red, pinmk, blue and flesh tones. The toy works great; simply wind up the attached key on the right side of the horse; place on the floor and watch the “child like” monkey bump and ride the horse (Video available upon request)).
This version of THIS monkey on THIS horse is very scarce. It is frequently seen with a boy on this and a different horse.
Note: After 40 plus years of dealing and collecting toys, I am justly qualified to guarantee and present the authenticity of antique and vintage toys and children’s playthings; important considering the fakes and reproductions in the marketplace
