Original Description:
This listing is for a fully functional, BATTERY OPERATED CALYPSO JOE w/box as shown. This is not a reproduction toy. It is in excellent - near mint condition. Colors are clear & bright. Litho, clothing & straw hat are exceptionally nice & clean. No corrosion anywhere. When remote switch is pushed on he does the correct 4 actions as follow: (1) Joe beats on drum , (2) A drum sound is produced, (3) Eyes light up, (4) Joe walks forward in a slow shuffle. Very neat! This toy ha...s been tested and works great. Very strong mechanism. Remote battery compartment is clean with no corrosion. This is a "MADE IN JAPAN" toy listed in Don Hultzman's book, COLLECTOR'S GUIDE TO BATTERY TOYS, copyright 2002, second edition. It is listed and pictured on page 41. It is a 1950's era toy made by the Linemar Co. ( Marx ). It has a rarity of 8 on a scale to 10 being the rarest, and a value of $800.00 in C-10 condition without the box. The original box is included. It is in very good - excellent condition. It does have a clear tape repaired corner on the inside of the lid. Nice colorful box for display with this toy... It has the familiar Linemar logo and the usual " LINEMAR BEST BY FAR " & " ONE OF THE MANY LINEMAR TOYS. DO YOU HAVE THEM ALL? " printed on the box. Would make a nice addition to any Black Americana toy collector.
