Vintage 1950s Wind Up Donkey Boy Tin Toy in Box Working Red White Blue Patriotic Republican Haji Japan
This is a vintage 1950s wind up tin toy named Donkey Boy made by Haji, Japan. Wind it up and the donkey jumps around with the boy on top. The ears and tail are also moveable. It is in its original box and seems to have been played with very little. The boy is wearing patriotic red, white and blue colors and the donkey is symbolic of the Republican party in USA. The box is 4 1/4" by 3 1/4" and it reads "mechanical" to indicate a moving wind up. The white you see on the front of the donkey's leg are the original white accent color which matches the underside/belly of the donkey. There are black lines within the brown that were also applied by the maker. Additionally, there is a small area on the outside calf which at first looks like a small wear mark but actually matches the paint on the underside of the feet which was also applied by the maker. There is no wear to the donkey or to the boy. Overall condition is excellent, near mint in the box and working. From an estate where it was carefully stored away for many decades and looks like it was hardly ever used. Unusual addition for any vintage toy collection especially is you are patriotic!

About:
Ingrid Magdalena Atterberg-Göransson (b. 1920 - d. 2008) was a celebrated epitome of illustrious Swedish ceramic design of the 20th century and a leading designer for Upsala Ekeby in the 1950s and 1960s. Atterberg is represented at the Swedish National Museum of Art and Design.
In 1944, she was employed at Upsala Ekeby, where appreciation for her works as a ceramicist continued to grow over the years. She was known for using 'manganese clay' in the 1940s and chamotte in the 1950s, and successfully developed her own glazes. In the late 1940s, her own collection called "Ekeby Verkstad" was born with a numbered series that began at 100.
During her career, Atterberg had several exhibitions and received a gold medal for her work in Italy as well as completing a number of public commissions.
