1970s novelty toy wind-up moving crab by ST Toys Hong Kong

If this little chap doesn’t make you smile, then I don’t know what will. Made by ST Toys Hong Kong, this brightly coloured orange crab executes an amusing sideways movement with bobbling eyes and moving claws when wound up and released. It’s an object of simple fun which also looks great when not on the move.

For a slice of the action see the following video:  https://www.instagram.com/p/CE_pjRvnUAn/

The crab measures approximately 11cm long by 4cm deep by 8cm high (4¼ in. by 1½ in. by 3¼ in.). In good condition and fully working with only minor superficial signs of wear and use.
