Vintage Japanese Tin Space Whistle- Space Rocket

This vintage Japanese figural tin whistle is a large size with beautiful colors.  The Space Rocket has two pilots in the cockpit. It is one of three different Space whistles with the same shape (probably used for a large fish initially) but different litho.

The whistle is 3.5 inches ( 8.89 cm) long and 1.25 inches ( 3.17 cm) at the widest point. The plain tin back of the whistle has some mottled darkening. 

Condition on this Space Rocket is very good. The colors are bright and there are only a few light scuffs on the belly of the rocket.
