Vintage Musical Jolly Chimp Clapping Cymbal Monkey Toy - Japan - Non Working

The Vintage Musical Jolly Chimp Clapping Cymbal Monkey is a charming toy from the 1950s, produced by Daishin C.K. in Japan. This unique clapping cymbal monkey is part of the Toy Story character family and features a variety of materials for construction. While it is non-working, this adorable animal-themed toy is perfect for collectors or enthusiasts of vintage toys and is sure to bring joy to anyone who remembers the golden age of battery-operated toys.

This poor monkey has had a rough time over the years, missing the cymbals, paint wear, material on face has soiling and wear, clothes have some wear, tears, some of the fur (material) has wear with some holes also. The lack of cymbals does allow him to hold other items (like an empty beer can) if you put a rubber band around his wrists.

I put new batteries in to see if he would work. He worked for a few seconds when I turned him on and then quit. His eyes moved down, and his hands moved, but then he just stopped.
