We are a business seller trading on Ebay since 2001 so buy with confidence
Here we have a rare and collectable small plastic clockwork robot made in Japan
We obtained the robot from an auction house. Doing some research we have found the following info...
The robot was made by Aoki and is know by collectors as the "wiggle" robot due to its quirky walking action
It was also sold under the Cragstan brand with the part no.1507-3 (try googling Gragstan 1507-3)
The robot was made in the late 1960`s and is a rare item
Please do your own research into the above, if you find any other info please get in touch
The robot was part of a large job lot we obtained from the auction house that was selling off a collection
We will be listing more robots from the collection over the coming weeks
It comes in what looks to be a reproduction box (see photo 9) for Aoki (the spelling on the side says Aioki ?)
The robot does not have a makers name on it but is just marked "made in Japan" see photo 8
It is made from plastic with tinplate feet and is quite small being about 5" (125mm) high
There is a clockwork motor fitted, when tried with the fixed key it worked ok
It moves forward with a rocking \ swaying action. The arms just swing loose and have no mechanical movement
I would say it is in good+ working condition. Some of the silver paint has worn off in places revealing the blue plastic underneath (see photo 6 for a close up)
Please look at all the 9 photos provided to view the robot from all angles and decide on its condition for yourself we have nothing to hide
I have tried my best to give a full and honest description with photos provided to help but any questions please ask
The robot is sold for adult collectors only not a childs toy (vintage toys do not meet modern safety standards)
It will be shipped well protected with full on-line parcel tracking provided
