Vintage Yonezawa Champion Troy Ruttman #98 Indy Friction Racer - $1,880 - (Lewiston, ME)
Yonezawa Champion Troy Ruttman N0. 98 Indy Friction Racer. Large 18 1/2" tin friction production of the 1952 Indy winner Troy Ruttman. This was the second generation in the same year when Yonezawa infringed on copyrights putting the owners name and driver on the first edition of this toy. Those were quickly pulled off the shelves and replaced with this Indy style champion. Good tires on this one with working friction motor and repaint to the helmet including the belly strip underneath. One of the better sought after Japanese tin friction toys. Shipping via USPS/FedEx. Payment through PayPal due within 3 days of purchase. Be sure to check out all my other listings for more interesting vintage and non-vintage toys.
