VINTAGE 1950s BATTERY MECHANICAL TIN TOY - DR. MARIO INSPIRATION - DOCTOR AIBOLIT STRAUME RUSSIAN USSR.
RARE OVERLOOKED TOY FROM THE PAST. FROM MY CHILDHOOD COLLECTION.
INSPIRATION FOR DR. MARIO! TESTED WORKS! 11 TALL RUSSIAN VERSION OF CHARLIE THE BARTENDER FROM 1950s / 1960s.
A RUSSIAN RELATIVE BROUGHT THIS FOR ME WHEN I WAS A KID IN THE LATE 1970s. IT IS BATTERY OPERATED BUT USES A UNIQUE RUSSIAN BATTERY SIZE THAT I DO NOT HAVE AND I DID NOT CONVERT IT TO AMERICAN. I MANAGED TO TOUCH THE TERMINALS WITH A 9V SQUARE BATTERY TO CHECK TO SEE IF IT STILL WORKS AND IT DOES! IT WAS IN MY TOY DISPLAY CASE SINCE CHILDHOOD. I DO NOT HAVE THE ORIGINAL BATTERY. THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT IS CLEAN, NO LEAKS. GREAT SHAPE FOR ITS AGE.
DUE TO IT'S AGE, IT IS BEING SOLD AS IS FOR DISPLAY, PARTS OR RESTORATION PROJECT. NO SMOKERS OR ANIMALS IN OUR HOUSE.
