A guide for this piece: about $59, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.

The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.

With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

Authenticity & Care

Keep as a display collectible until a competent vintage-toy specialist has inspected the mechanism, wiring and battery contacts. Do not insert batteries simply to repeat a demonstration, force the limbs or dismantle the body at home. Store without batteries, away from damp and direct heat; dust secure exterior surfaces gently with a dry soft brush. Painted edges, moving parts and old electrical components warrant careful handling.
