Z-101 FLYING SAUCER - ENGLAND - Maker?

Early tin friction saucer with spark window. Circular ridged saucer with extension at rear. In virtually all respects this is identical to the Masudaya Z-101. The only difference is that version does not have the pair of fins, nor are there signs of slots to accommodate them. The saucer is marked Made in England on the base.

The hole is intended for the spark action. Since the flint arm protrudes through the hole it is unlikely that there was a red gel cover on it. The open spark window is common on English toys.

The same pressing was used by the SFA company of France - W-902 Terre Mars, though a spark aperture has not been cut.
