This listing is for a fully functional BATTERY OPERATED MOTHER BEAR - SITTING AND KNITTING IN HER OLD ROCKING CHAIR as shown. It is in good - very good condition. Clean with nice tin litho. No corrosion anywhere. When switch is turned on, her green eyes light up, her hands start knitting, her head moves back and forth and her chair rocks back and forth. The process is repeated. Very quaint. The toy original had a pair of round plastic glasses. Unfortunately they are missing. This toy h...as been tested and works fine. Battery compartment is mint as are the connections. This is a "MADE IN JAPAN" toy listed in Don Hultzman's book, COLLECTOR'S GUIDE TO BATTERY TOYS, copyright 2002, second edition. It is listed on page 121. It is a 1950's era toy made by the M-T Co. (Modern Toys). It has a rarity of 4 on a scale to 10 being the rarest, and a value of $250.00 in C-10 condition. Displays well. Other 50's & 60's battery operated toys & fun stuff are listed in my EBAY store. Check em out!
