The Toyman Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I bought this Betty Boop tambourine at the weekend knowing that it must be rare, but not realising just how rare it is! The makers name appears to be SI or IS? it's also marked Japan. It dates from the 1930's so does anyone know who made it??? Thanks in advance!

Joe K. Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 . William C. Gallagher's book, Japanese Toys, (page 30) identifies that logo this way: Initials: IS Company: Imakita Kinzoku Kogyo English name: (Imakita Metal Manufacturing) Trademark derivation: Mr. S. Imakita . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
