Rare vintage Sonsco “Itchy Puppy” wind-up toy, made in Occupied Japan (circa late 1940s). This highly sought-after collectible features a charming Scotty dog design crafted from a combination of tin and celluloid.

When wound, the dog performs its signature action—shaking as if scratching an itch while the tail spins. A classic example of early post-war Japanese toy craftsmanship.
