Mobo Toy-toise Turtle
This is a neat toy. Mobo red and yellow tin plate turtle. Made in England in the late 1940s or early 1950s, this Mobo turtle moves forward when the handle is squeezed.
My dad found this somewhere and thought it was neat - or it was cheap - probably both, so he brought it home.
I never paid any attention to it until I found a Mobo Bronco. I’ll add pictures of the horse later.
Turtle says “I’m the MOBO toy-toise, I lead you follow!” on bottom.
Each leg has a wheel with a locking bar on it. The locking bar allows the wheel to move forward only. This is what causes the turtle to move when the hand grip is squeezed.
MOBO TOYS were made by D. SEBEL & CO. from 1947 to 1972 in England.
