This lot features a pair of lithographed tinplate toy vehicles manufactured in Japan. The first vehicle is an open-top veteran-style car produced by Modern Toys (Masudaya). The car is finished in red lithography with gold-tone pinstripe detailing and a black fixed top. The interior features blue tufted-style lithographed seating. It is equipped with a lever-action mechanism operated by an external metal rod on the passenger side. Markings on the rear include the Modern Toys circular logo, Made in Japan, and Patent No. 27579. The front license plate is marked A-1620. The second vehicle is a four-door sedan modeled after a late 1920s luxury automobile, such as a Lincoln or Cadillac. It is finished in dark blue lithography with a tan-colored textured composition roof. The car features a side-mounted spare tire on the driver side, silver-tone door handles, and wire-style wheels with white-wall tires. The interior is decorated with green and tan striped lithography. This vehicle does not bear visible manufacturer marks but is consistent with mid-20th-century Japanese toy production. Neither vehicle includes an original box.
