RARE 1960s China East is Red BATTERY OPERATED TIN LITHO TOY TRACTOR ME 701

  
RARE 1960s China East is Red BATTERY OPERATED TIN LITHO TOY TRACTOR ME 701. Rare find, this is a vintage 1960s China, The East is Red tin litho toy battery operated tractor.

Excellent overall condition, a few of the little plastic "windows" are missing as well as the little white plastic covers for the pipes on the engine. The little man inside is great, and it does work. The engine compartment lights up red, the remote control has a steering wheel. It wants to go forward but I think the rubber tracks might be ever so slightly stretched out from age, the wheels turn fine & when given a little nudge it goes depending on the surface it's placed on. Makes a nice typical whirring sound when you push the little button on the remote controller.

So it is not perfect but it's a great little toy from a by-gone era, when toys from China were not allowed to be imported into this country but had to be gotten through a friend or relative in Europe or Canada. Remote takes 2 D batteries. THE MAJORITY OF OUR MERCHANDISE IS FROM ESTATES AND THEREFORE IS USED, VINTAGE, ANTIQUE, OR JUST PLAIN OLD.
