THE ITEM DESCRIPTION:
The Linemar Donald Duck battery operated scissors toy was made in Japan circa 1960s. It is all lithographed tin & in excellent original condition showing very little evidence of play wear. Clean, bright colors. The battery case is very clean. Takes 1 D cell battery. It should work but it doesn't. Very likely no one has tried to use it in the last 60 years & battery operated toys are notoriously finicky when not used regularly. It is a hand held toy operated like a gun with a red trigger that when pressed causes the twin blades to move back & forth against each other which will presumably cut paper. Very nice images of Donald on the handle & the body of the scissors is molded to the shape of Donald. Quite an unusual toy & rather hard to find. In fact this is the 1st one I ever owned. When in upright position it is 5 1/2” tall, 5 3/4” long & 2” wide. Marked LineMar Toys Japan & copyright Walt Disney Productions.  It also has an unusual mark stating Des. Pat. Pend. You do not often see a toy company getting a design patent as 98% of toys are variations on already existing toys. 071121/21IJ(1)
I always have lots of vintage 1930s Disneyana for sale on eBay.
