"Popeye Transit Co." (tin lithograph) moving truck with friction mechanism. Made in Japan c1950s Linemar, the manufacturing toy company, went out of business in the 1960s. Today, many of their products, including the “Popeye Transit Co.” truck, remain highly-sought after making them extremely valuable. The elaborate design of this truck, unusual during the time, makes it even more rare. The "Popeye Transit Co.", together with its original packaging, is valued at an estimated US$5000.

“It would not be an overstatement to suggest that, throughout the 1950s, the Pilot of the Future was the most famous character in the country [...] Dan Dare was generating his very own mountain of toys, collectables and ephemera.” 

Nick Jones, ‘The Genesis of Dan Dare: Pilot of the Future’.
