RARE HIGH GRADE “TRIPLE” MECHANICAL FUNCTIONING:
DISNEY 1950's “SITTING PLUSH PLUTO” WIND UP TOY BY LINEMAR TOYS.
I CURRENTLY HAVE THE MORE COMMON PLUSH PLUTO BROTHER TO THIS TOY LISTED FOR SALE. THE TOY IN THIS LISTING HAS MORE IMPRESSIVE MECHANICAL ABILITIES.
MY GUESS TO THE RARENESS OF THE TOY IS THAT MR. DISNEY PURPOSELY MADE IN VERY LIMITED EDITIONS DO TO THE COMPLEXITY OF THE MANUFACTURING AND THE COST TO DO THE SAME.
THE TOY MEASURES APPROXIMATELY 6" LONG X 3 1/2" TALL.
THE TOY IS IN OVERALL EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH MINIMAL COSMETIC AND/OR CONSTRUCTION DISTRACTIONS.
AFTER THE MECHANICAL TOY IS WOUND AND RELEASED, PLUTO MOVES FORWARD WITH THE HELP OF TWO WHEELS ON HIS UNDERSIDE.
WHILE PLUTO IS MOVING FORWARD IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS HE PERFORMS 2 ADDITIONAL ACTIONS WHILE CONTINUING THE SAME IN LIKE A 3 RING CIRCUS FORMAT:
- ROLLS COMPLETELY OVER AND MOVES FORWARD A BIT BEFORE:
- MECHANICALLY SITS UP WITH HIS PAWS IN THE AIR WHILE SITTING ON HIS REAR END.
THE THREE MECHANICAL FUNCTIONS CONTINUE RANDOMLY AS LONG HE HAS SPRING TENSION LEFT.
THE TOY IS IN EXCELLENT WORKING CONDITION.
THE MECHANICAL FUNCTIONS ARE INGENIOUS FOR THE DAY AND TOOK SOME REAL CREATIVE THINKING TO GET THE ENGINEERING DOWN.
HELPING ALL FUNCTIONS TO WORK ARE THE TWO AUTOMATIC DROP DOWN LONG METAL LEGS ON THE UNDERSIDE ALONG WITH A SMALL METAL BALL AT THE BACKSIDE OF THE UNDERSIDE WHICH SENDS PLUTO IN TO A VARIETY OF VARIATION IN THE FORWARD MOVEMENT FUNCTION.
PLUTO HAS A PLUSH COVERED FABRIC BODY ALONG WITH RUBBER EARS AND TAIL WITH A METAL SUBSTRATE.
IT IS AMAZING THAT PLUTO'S SOFT PLUSH FABRIC IS IN SUCH AMAZING CONDITION AS IT IS SUCH A FRAGILE MATERIAL.
PLUTO'S COLLAR IS MADE OUT OF TIN AND PAINTED RED.
INCISED AUTHENTICITY TEXT CAN BE FOUND ON THE UNDERSIDE OF PLUTO'S FRONT LEGS READING AS FOLLOWS:
- LEFT LEG:
