This Century 21 toys toy was on auction this summer. I saved the description and pictures because I was perplexed by something it said about arms and a website. Have a look. Do you agree? Is one of the ice-cream girl's arms often missing?
Item description: "Topo Gigio Spanish/Italian cartoon figure from the sixties. Ice cream van with friction drive motor and box. Van in good condition with just some minor imperfections on plastic.
Girl in back missing arm but according to website a lot of these arms are missing perhaps they were missing from the factory. I think these are now rare made in 1967 by Gerry Andersons Company 21ST Century toys.
Its says on box Topo Gigio by Maria Perego 1967.Made in Hong Kong. Box in not bad condition a bit scuffed and a couple of tears on end flaps."
Other pictures in my archive don't back this theory up. Both arms are present!
Have you got this toy? Are all the arms there?
