Tim travelled to Japan about 40 years ago, and came back with a wonderful collection of items. Tim is convinced that quite a few items made in Japan are purely for the domestic market and you will only be able to buy them if you go to Japan!
'Penguin's Club' is a wind-up toy, with three penguins and a surfboard - it reminds Tim of the iconic photo of the Beach Boys!
A yellow wind-up walking dinosaur...
A wind-up train with a bendy section in the middle. You can make it go in circles! Tim is a big fan of this toy. is it high speed?
Walking strawberries...
A strange animal with a small one in tow...
A wind-up snail, a wind-up car and a wind-up koala...
Finally a wind-up swimming frog.
