Vintage Made in Japan Jointed Celluloid Pekingese Dog Nodder Toy Figurine:
$38.00
Up for consideration is a rare and highly collectible vintage 1930s to 1940s celluloid toy dog figurine depicting a stylized Pekingese puppy. Made in Japan, this nostalgic novelty features a cream-colored body beautifully accented with classic airbrushed purple-pink patches, a molded black nose, and detailed dark eyes. Originally engineered as a mechanical weighted nodder or spring toy, it features distinct molded seam lines along the head and body, alongside jointed movable legs. It serves as a fantastic historical piece for collectors of early pre-war Japanese celluloid toys, antique dog breed novelty figurines, or kitschy mid-century cabinet displays. The piece shows natural vintage age, light paint wear, and typical surface patina associated with authentic older celluloid plastics. See photos for accurate depiction of condition.
