Bidspirit auction | (2) Chinese Tin Anti-Aircraft Tank
(2) Chinese Tin Anti-Aircraft Tank & Photoing On Car Boxed - Rolling off late twentieth-century Chinese production lines as highly charming export novelties, this dual-vehicle mechanical lot brings together a unique blend of Cold War military design and whimsical automotive engineering. Emerging as the first piece is a lesser-seen gray lithographed tin battery-operated Anti-Aircraft Tank, Model No. ME-756, featuring clean dual-battery housings. The battery-operated mechanism was tested during cataloging and found to be working. Joining the armored unit is a metallic red battery-operated ”Photoing on Car” convertible, Model No. ME-630, featuring a plastic driver and passenger girl figure designed to rise and take a photograph. Its battery compartment remains exceptionally clean; however, when tested during cataloging, the mechanism turned on briefly before immediately shutting off. Both toys are accompanied by their original illustrated boxes and present exceptionally well overall. The Photoing on Car measures approximately 12” L, and the Anti-Aircraft Tank measures approximately 9” L. Condition: MIXED VG/G
