Posted by admin On March 4, 2023

This is a very finely made early 20th century Japanese model of a rickshaw with retractable hood in good condition.

The hood comprises three overlapping sections. Dimensions: 17.5 cm length x 7 cm width. Condition: The condition given the delicate nature of the model is very good. It appears to be complete down to the two lights either side of the cab. Apart from being a little dirty there is just one crack in the shell, sitting behind the right-side light fitting (most visible on the last photograph – it’s the furthest light fitting).
