Q: I discovered a metal windup toy in my attic that my wife and I bought about 35 years ago. It’s a Santa figure riding a three-wheel bike. It has a license plate that reads “T5-753, Made in Japan,” “Patent No. 424637” with “Suzuki” on a scroll in a circle. Santa is plastic and holds a red balloon that says “Merry Christmas.” The toy is 4 inches long and 5 inches high. The wind-up mechanism still works and it has a bell on the back that rings as it rides in circles. I would appreciate your opinion as to what it’s worth.
