Vintage CK Kuramochi Japan Tin Litho Wind-Up Santa Claus on Tricycle - Tested & Working Up for sale is this beautifully preserved, highly collectible Vintage Tin Lithograph and Plastic/Celluloid Wind-Up Santa Claus riding a tricycle. Made in Japan by the renowned Kuramochi (CK) toy company during the golden era of post-war Japanese tin manufacturing (circa 1950s-1960s). This delightful toy features a detailed molded Santa figure in a classic bright red suit with textured white trim, riding a brilliantly lithographed blue and red tin tricycle. The back mechanism features a lithographed tin bell dome featuring graphics of a running rabbit, directly above a yellow license plate showcasing the iconic CK clover logo and "MADE IN JAPAN" stamp.
