Early Japanese Novelty Pin- Blue Tin Car- Prize in 1950's Punch Board

 This small colorful tin novelty pin is a prize from an early 1950's Japanese punch board...I know this because I opened each compartment and took the prizes out then sealed them up again and kept the board for my collection.

Most of the prizes were cheap novelty items. The best prizes were the tin litho pins, like this one of a colorful, mostly blue car with light embossed details. The pin is a bit more than 1 inch (2.9 cm) long and is in good condition.
