SHINSEI Mini Power 39 vintage Japan toy crane in rare old box

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This listing is for a vintage SHINSEI toy crane from the "Mini Power" series, model number 39. The item is presented in its original box, illustrated with a color photograph showing the assembled crane with its lifting accessory. The visual depicts a red and white lattice boom crane mounted on a yellow and red elevating structure, with a rectangular open-frame base. The overall design faithfully evokes the aesthetic of Japanese toys from the 1970s-1980s, with angular lines and bright colors typical of that period.

The predominantly red box with a yellow border features the inscriptions "SHINSEI MINI POWER" and the number "39" in large white characters. Japanese characters are also visible in yellow and black, along with an "ST" logo in the bottom left, a distinctive mark of certified toys in Japan. The main image highlights the crane, with its arm tilted and equipped with a hook suspended from a cable, ready to lift a stylized play element.

The visible side of the box shows some signs of wear, including scuffing at the corners and discreet marks on the surface, indicative of its age. No details of the interior contents are visible in this photo; only the front face of the packaging is shown. It is noted that the box maintains good structural integrity, with no apparent sagging.

The graphic style, the SHINSEI logo, and the "Mini Power" mention confirm the authenticity of a Japanese-made toy, sought after for its vintage appeal. The bright colors and mechanical design of the crane are reminiscent of the diecast toys popular in Japan during the second half of the 20th century.
