An impressive and rare toy  in excellent condition. Manufactured in the 1950's by Nomura , this  battery operated  10 inch long  road roller in metallic blue with a classic Robot at the controls propels forward with lighted moving pistons. But that's when the fun begins. As the front bar hits an object, the vehicle shifts into reverse; then when the back bar strikes an object, the vehicle shifts into forward again. All original, a scarce toy with only minor playwear.
