Batman Japanese Tin Friction-Powered Cessna Plane (Takatoku, 1960's)....

Description

Batman Japanese Tin Friction-Powered Cessna Plane (Takatoku, 1960's). The Batman Cessna is friction powered and composed of tin with a plastic propeller and rubber wheels. When pushed, the turning wheels cause the propeller to rotate. The tin is lithographed with images of Batman and Robin in the cockpit and additional images of them on both wings. On the tail are pictures of the Joker and a police officer while other images including a standing Batman, Batman logo, and some Japanese writing round out the rest of the graphics. This is a very rare piece to find with few sold publicly. The plane has vibrant colors and is in great condition. It has some light scratches and scuffs and does not come with any packaging. The friction still works correctly and spins the propeller when pushed, but no guarantee can be made of its working condition in the future.
