Rare Vintage 1950/60s Japanese Sanitation/Refuse/Garbage Truck Friction Tin Toy

This great Refuse Truck of the "Dept of Sanitation" was made around the 1950/60s, probably in Japan. It features a lever activated dumping mechanism and a lever operated garbage elevator. The back hatch opens and the friction mechanism works.

Good vintage condition with some corrosion (see pictures) and a few wobbly tires.

Measures approx. 14" long x 4" wide x 5" tall.

Great decorative piece!
