This is now a contender for the first American robot (well, one that has a moving action): Robert Robot Push Toy. A mechanical man of multiple action. Made by the Jolin Company.

 Here's an intriguing little picture ad from a 1945 paper, though the toy is mentioned as early as 1944.

There's one in Joe's museum, but dated to 1952. Well, Joe, you now have the first American robot in your collection.
