(2) Chinese Tin Universe Televiboat Boxed Battery Operated Space Ships - This dual-vehicle collector lot presents two nearly identical versions of the highly sought-after Chinese Universe Televiboat mechanical craft, each accompanied by its original graphic retail box. Cataloged as Model No. ME-777 and featuring bilingual English, French, and Chinese text, each large lithographed tin space vessel is decorated with rocket port graphics, a No. 7 race shield insignia, large rear jet thrusters, and a central astronaut pilot figure enclosed beneath a blue dome helmet while operating an articulated television camera device. Both toys present in exceptionally clean, near-new-old-stock cosmetic condition, with pristine internal tubular battery compartments free of visible corrosion. The battery-operated mechanisms were tested during cataloging and found to be non-working on both examples. Each Televiboat measures approximately 15” L. Condition: VERY GOOD
