Vintage Rosko Tested B/O Grand-Pa Car (In Original Box)

This is a vintage battery-operated (B/O) 'Grand-Pa Car' manufactured by Rosko, likely dating from the 1960s. The item is shown in its original lithographed cardboard packaging. The box design features vibrant mid-century graphics in yellow, teal, and red, depicting a motorized early 20th-century style automobile. The toy itself is a depiction of a classic vintage car with a closed cab, large spoked wheels, and side lamps. Notable markings include the 'Rosko Tested' seal and the model number '1440' on the top panel. The material of the box is heavy-grade paperboard. Regarding condition, the box exhibits significant signs of age and wear; there is a notable tear and crushing on the front-left corner, surface abrasions, and edge fraying. There is a visible white surface tear on the lower-right graphic of the car on the side panel, suggesting a possible sticker removal or moisture damage. The 'B/O' designation indicates that the interior toy likely features motorized movement, sound, or light, which was a hallmark of Japanese-made tin or plastic toys of this era. The color palette remains relatively bright despite the visible shelf wear and storage aging.
