A great vintage store basement find
Condition is used was a store display model
A super rare manual dump truck knob tipper
Made in Japan 1960s
Manufactured by T.N.
Heavy Duty Chevrolet Friction Powered Dump Truck
Measures 18 inches long, 7 inches wide and 7 inches high
Made of heavy duty tin(maybe pressed steel) , and rubber tires
Main colors are red, white, black and yellow
When pushed the truck rolls across the ground making a sound
To tip the tipper, use the knob close to the cab of the truck to unlock it and watch the tipper go up
The motorized dumping action simulates a hydraulic lift
To lower the tipper push it down until you hear the click sound
There is some damage where the tipper locks (dented but is easy to fix)
Sometimes the knob may stick and prevent the tipper from raising, just push the knob back and forth
Some tin toys may have minor manufacture defects, scratches and scuffs when being assembled in the factory plant
Look at pictures for more description
Original box has seen better days (torn, taped and glued but it's still in one piece)

All toys are carefully checked and tested before being shipped
