Nice toy, when I saw the topic title I thought it might be about the real WWII Japanese mini-subs. :blushing:

You need a really tiny crew for that one!

Japanese tin toys such as this can be quite pricy in the Japanese toy collector market.
This is the kind of item one would see on the first floor at Mandrake in Nagoya.
What is the maker of this sub?

I collect items from The Battle of Iwo Jima (1945).
Because of USMF members reading my ad I have added 12 Iwo Jima Coats/Jumpers to my collection.
I am always looking for named and dated WWII USMC Forest Green wool alpha jackets/coats/tunics from the 3rd, 4th or 5th Marine Divisions or other units who participated in the battle. I also purchase Navy Jumpers and Service coats from Sailors who were on ships that participated in battle especially Jumpers from APA attack transports. Un-researched a plus!

I think they were two man subs.
