Torpedo Boat Tin Toy Collectable Figure
DESCRIPTION
Vintage Tin Friction Torpedo Boat MF923 – 1960s China – With Original Box A true Cold War-era classic!
This vintage MF923 Tinplate Torpedo Boat was made in China circa 1960s and captures the charm and imagination of post-war mechanical toys. Manufactured under the “Cosmic” line, this vibrant push toy is powered by friction and still works a treat – just give it a little shove and watch it glide into action.
It features a bold mid-century design with painted tin detailing and a distinctive bubble cockpit (which now has light fogging, adding to its authentic aged look). While there’s some wear to the paint consistent with age and play, the overall cosmetic condition sits at a solid C7 (Very Good) – meaning it displays well and functions correctly.
Even better? It comes in its original printed box, a rarity that boosts its collectability and vintage appeal.
Whether you're a seasoned tin toy collector or just looking for that perfect nostalgia hit, this piece is a standout.
