BATTERY OPERATED

Shoe Shine Joe

WITH LIGHTED PIPE

This Vintage Toy is in Rare-to-find MINT Condition with its Original Box!

And he's CHARMING, DEAR, WELL-MADE & WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!

Trade Mark is T.N in a diamond

This incredibly neat vintage toy was

MADE IN JAPAN

for the

ACE IMPORT CO., INC.

From head-to-toe Joe measures about 9 1/4 inches high x 5 1/4 inches wide.

Our phtos will indicate his fabulous exterior condition as well as the pristine inner cavity of his beautifully illustrated base where the batteries go. We were however not able to get him going with the batteries we tried, although all appears to be in perfect condition with no corrosion whatsoever. The only other thing you should be aware of is the condition of his box, which has a tear along one edge, and then a little tiny ding to the opposite corner. Otherwise, as far as vintage toys go, this one, the toy itself, is MINT! And the box is still in Very Good shape.

We hope you love this dapper fellow with his boot polisher, his bell, his hat and his pipe, and will consider bidding on him for your collection!

Thanks for looking and good luck biding!

He's cute. This guy is really, really, really cute!
