Vintage Japanese TN tin car

[theantiquetiger]

I impulse bought this today. I love old tin toys. I can find some stuff on other TN tin cars, but not this one (unless I look through 250,000 results on Google). Does any one have any info on this toy?:

You know, I really like that. Terrific pick-up (or car)!

nice pick up!

I still cannot believe how mint this thing is!!!! I have been trying to do some research on the car, but cannot find too much. Closest thing I found was a site that makes reproduction boxes for this toy. It was made by a company called Nomura and their trademark is "TN".

Some of their items on Ebay bring prety good money, but I cannot find this one.
