Rocket Shooter M-35 Army Tank Battery Operated Boxed Works

ITEM DESCRIPTION:

ROCKET SHOOTER M-35 ARMY TANK IN BOX BATTERY OPERATED JAPAN WORKS SUPER RARE NM. Here is a real tough toy to find. Rocket Shooter. Great tin litho of this M-35 Army tank. It's a heavy well made tank that is 9 " long X 6 " tall X 4.5 " wide. Very light wear, the paint has some crazing. A few very light dings on top edge. The treads are nice. It has 3 out of the 4 shells and cases. Has the turret. Turn it on and it goes forward and to the left, gun moves up and down and shoots then the case drops out. It all works but, the shell doesn't shoot all the way through. It worked once for me. The case falls out as it should. The trigger is strong maybe too strong. There must be a slight alignment issue that I can't see. Made in the 1950's by K Japan. The box is complete but, it does have some mild wear and tear. This take's 3 D batteries I used general purpose or Sunbeam dollar store batteries since this makes the tank work better. There was no heavy Alkaline batteries back in the 50's so, this tank was designed to use lighter batteries. A very rare tank. Please check out my other vintage toys. Please ask any question that you may have. Thank you, Dave
