MOBIL JET - MARUBISHI? TY? - JAPAN
An red and white lithographed tin friction space vehicle. The vehicle has an unusual tear drop shape with a yellow tin pilot under a clear dome and two long clear green plastic engine tubes at the back. (Note: this version has the tin bodied astronaut rather than the vinyl head of other versions).
Two wire antennas sweep backwards along the top. Marked Mobil Jet. 8" 20cm. This is a variation of the Marubishi Astro Mobil.
Friction action with noise and spark. The Mobil Jet has an unusual manufacturer's logo: it is marked "Look for good toy" in a circle with a hard to decipher TY (?) inside and Made in Japan.
