Description
From old warehouse stock this Rare Vintage Friction toy has never been played with or sold to a retail or wholesale buyer. Sometimes referred to as Horikawa, sometimes Cragstan and sometimes with both manufacturers noted it is exceedingly rare and unusual especially unused and in the box. I have seen two versions. Both are called Capsule Mercury on the box but this one's lithographed surface says Friendship 7 on its sides. Another version does not have this stamping. It is about nine inches in length. Any signs of wear are from it being in the box. The colors are vibrant. It has a slight manufacturing indentation on one side more than the other. It is a friction toy and as it is rolled the Astronaut spins. It sparks as it rolls but I imagine the flint has aged. The only spinning it has ever done was when I rolled the wheels with my hands to position the astronaut so he can be seen through the windows on the spaceship. Shipping is .
