Mechanical Japanese Clickers

 There are two basic types of clickers: mechanical, where when you operate the clicker some part of it moves and non-mechanical where there is no movement, just a clicking sound. Clickers have been used by paratroopers , nuns and school teachers, and dog trainers but they were most used in the hands of children to produce that wonderful repetitive and annoying sound that can drive parents wild.

CONDITION-PHOTOS-REFUNDS

Read the descriptions carefully as detailed information about condition, size, working order, type of clicker, rarity and availability will be mentioned there. Condition is mostly concerned with the front lithographed area of the clicker, although any problems on the bare metal back surface will be mentioned. As far as the photos are concerned, please keep in mind that these are small items and when a picture is blown up to a large size all kinds of defects seem to jump out at you...like looking at your skin in a magnifying mirror. The actual item seen by the naked eye, especially our aging eyes, looks better than the photo.

Your satisfaction is always important to me. If you are unhappy about the condition of a clicker you get I am happy to give a full refund or exchange it if that is possible. Things do get past my notice sometimes (those aging eyes).

Vintage 1950's Japan Mechanical Clicker-Cowboy Shooting Pistols

3 and 7/8 inches ( 10 cm) tall

Good

This is one of the larger and very attractive Japanese mechanical clickers. It could be pre-war but on the basis of the litho colors I am going with 1950's vintage. A cowboy is pointing his two six shooters right at you and when you squeeze the clicker mechanism the guns move slightly as you hear the click (or shooting) sound.

The clicker shows some tiny dots of roughness on the legs and some stains (not removable in a light cleaning) on shoulders and neck area.
