Vintage Japanese Celluloid Rickshaw Miniature Figurines - Lot of 3These are a charm of mid-century travel history: a lot of three (3) vintage Japanese celluloid rickshaw miniature dioramas. Popularly crafted as souvenirs between the 1930s and 1950s, these early plastic pieces beautifully mimic the look of carved aged ivory or bone.Each piece measures approximately 2.75" to 3" tall and 3.5" long, featuring an elegant Geisha passenger riding behind a traditional rickshaw runner.Lot Details & Design Variations:
-Two (2) Removable Parasol Figurines: These two pieces feature fully functional, spinning wheels and detailed parasols that can be detached. One of these figures features a significantly darker, richer vintage patina settling into the molded details, providing striking contrast.
-One (1) Fixed-Design Variant: The third figurine features a distinct design variation. The runner is posed in a more upright stance, the wheels are a different molded style and are fixed (do not turn), and the parasol is integrated/non-detachable.Condition Notes:
These items are in pre-owned, vintage condition. Celluloid is a delicate material, and this trio has been well-preserved. There may be minor age-related dust, light surface wear, or variances in coloration/patina across the pieces. Please review the photos closely to inspect the exact condition of each figurine before purchasing.
