gernot Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Harldy to see but this is definitively the Horikawa Busy Cart Robot.I do not know if we have dated him already. This Eaton Christmas catalog is from 1972 So finally not a toy from 50s or 60s. But there are several versions of the Busy cart: Long feet and short with or without Lithos on legs, two different helmets, and a japanses version with japanese letters on the helmet. This one seems to be the short feet version. Joe you have sharp eyes (or magnifying glasses ?) Here is the Link and the picture# http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Eatons-1972-Ch...1QQcmdZViewItem I wish they would all show the offered catalogs with robots and space toys like this.... http://cgi.ebay.com/1950-1951-The-Toy-Year...1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe K. Posted September 13, 2005 Author Share Posted September 13, 2005 Gernot -From two years ago, the first sighting:http://danefield.com/alpha/forums/index.ph...ct=ST&f=4&t=632The photo is not much better in determining the exact variation. But, one thing I did notice: Is that 'Zero' of Space pictured behind Busy Cart? And if so, which version? See Sotheby's/Griffith Catalog, page 88.

Joe K. Posted December 6, 2017 Author Share Posted December 6, 2017 This 1972 Eaton's Christmas catalog has finally come 'round again: This time the image is clear enough to determine that it is the version, as described in the Database listing, with "a plain hat with a wider brim", "a plain leg" with "short foot", and plastic cart. Now, to find the other variations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
